The Creation of 'Fiddler on The Roof' - with Charles Troy

The Creation of Fiddler on the Roof

How did the stories of Yiddish writer Sholom Aleichem become Fiddler on the Roof, a musical that would resonate with audiences around the world?

Go behind the scenes of its creation, from the earliest drafts to the pre-Broadway tryouts. Along the way, you’ll see how director and choreographer Jerome Robbins helped his team discover what the show was really about, what they learned from those first audiences, and what they changed on the road to Broadway.

It’s the story of how a musical rooted in the life of one Jewish village invited audiences everywhere to see something of their own families and traditions onstage.
