Fiddler on the Roof — musical

Joint project on the occasion of the 70th jubilee season of the Polish Stage and the 75th jubilee season of the Czech Theatre Cieszyński Theatre

The legendary musical, which premiered in New York in 1964, received many awards. It speaks of the power of tradition, love, family and the need for tolerance, and it is still relevant today.

This is the story of the poor Jewish milkman Tevji. His greatest concern is to marry his daughters well and thus provide them with a better life than was his. Therefore, together with the matchmaker, she tries to find suitable brides for her daughters. But the daughters will go against tradition and want to marry out of love. The action takes place in Anatevka, a small town in Russian Ukraine, at the beginning of the 20th century, during the pogroms. Tevje and his loved ones must finally leave their homes and set out to face an uncertain future.

The story is loosely based on the novel “The Days of Tewja the Milkmaid” by Jewish writer Sholem Aleichem. The musical, in addition to its extraordinarily wise and heartbreaking story, was also made famous by famous songs such as Tradition, If I Were Rich and others.

A man without means of livelihood is unpredictable, and ideas appear in his head that are seemingly impossible to realize. And yet! The protagonist of the play chooses the stupidest possible - to kidnap the son of the minister, who is responsible for his situation! As you can see, nothing is going according to plan. Inexperience, quarrels in the family and a mysterious woman make the story bring a lot of surprises to everyone!

A star-studded cast, criminal intrigue and surprising twists are just some of what awaits the audience in this comical spectacle!
