Ray and Judith invite you to sit back and relax as they present the full musical experience of Fiddler On The Roof and transport you back to 1905 and the village of Anatevka in Imperial Russia. Although the story deals with the situation and events over 100 years ago in time, the humour and pathos of the show, and the promise of at least the chance of a new start, makes it a truly feel-good experience for the audience. There is a striking resonance with today’s situation around the world where life for many can be as precarious as the perch of a Fiddler On The Roof.
THIS AMATEUR PRODUCTION IS PRESENTED BY ARRANGEMENT WITH MUSIC THEATRE INTERNATIONAL (EUROPE) ALL AUTHORISED PERFORMANCE MATERIALS ARE ALSO SUPPLIED BY MTI EUROPE WWW.MTISHOWS.CO.UK
