Fiddler on the Roof JR.

Fiddler on the Roof JR.
Based on the award-winning, iconic Broadway classic of life in Czarist Russia, this universal drama is a true musical theatre tradition.

This special adaptation of the nine-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Fiddler on the Roof JR. follows Tevye the milkman as he tries to protect his daughters and his way of life from a changing world.  Created by Broadway legends Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein, Fiddler on the Roof JR. tackles the universal theme of tradition in ways that reach across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion.

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to marry off his daughters and instill in them a sense of tradition in the face of growing anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia.

Fiddler on the Roof JR. is a great introduction to the world of musical theatre. Young performers will love its humor, warmth and honesty. Directors will love the opportunity to direct a large cast with a good balance of male and female roles.

Cost for Fiddler on the Roof Jr.

We own the kit from a previous performance. I would only need to purchase the rights, the vocal CD (we have a cassett) and the accompaniament CD. I am trying to get a rough idea of the cost for this. We do two performances, seat approx. 500, and charge $10 a seat. This is for a school performance.

I Need a Tevye Beard!!!
Hi, im a 17 year old who was just cast in the role of Tevye at a local youth theater. I don't think I will have time to grow a beard like Topol's fabulous one.. but I was wondering if anyone knew of any great online theatre websites who would have some great very realistic beards.. (because Tevye was not 17 not to mention that fact he couldn't shave his beard in the first place)
