7/28/2023 - Fiddler on the Roof on July 28-30, 2023 Fully staged, live orchestra, actors from Southbury and many neighboring towns, a tremendous amount of talent has put together this fabulous show. This iconic show features many popular tunes. You will laugh, you will cry. It is a must-see musical! And it's in the air-conditioned auditorium. Fiddler on the Roof is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Dairyman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, a milkman in the village of Anatevka, who attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon his family's lives. He must cope with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters who wish to marry for love; their choices of husbands are successively less palatable for Tevye. An edict of the tsar eventually evicts the Jews from their village. The original Broadway production of the show, which opened in 1964, had the first musical theatre run in history to surpass 3,000 performances. It won nine Tony Awards, including best musical, score, book, direction and choreography. It spawned five Broadway revivals and a highly successful 1971 film adaptation, and has enjoyed enduring international popularity. Three performances: 7/28 & 29 @ 7:00 pm; 7/30 @ 2:00 pm. ### Event: Fiddler on the Roof Event Date: 7/28-30/2023 Event Time: 7:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2:00 p.m. Sunday Admission Fee: Adults $25; Seniors & Students w/ID $20; Children 10 and under $15 Registration Instructions: https://our.show/newbury-fiddler Event Organizers/Contact: Newbury Musical Theatre Company of Southbury, CT | 203-264-1009 | NewburyMusicalTheatre.org Event Location: Pomperaug High School, 234 Judd Road, Southbury Archives
