Synopsis
As the play beings, Tevke, a Jewish milkman, tells of the customs in the little Russian town of Anatevka. It is 1905, and life is a precarious as a fiddler on the roof, yet through their traditions the villagers endure.
Tevke is raising five daughters. Although it is a Jewish customer to have a Matchmaker choose husbands for the daughters, his daughters have other ideas in mind. Three of the five daughters fall in love with a man that doesn’t quite fit the image Tevye had in mind. However, love does win overall. In the midst of the love triangles, Tevye is concerned about the war in his town as the Russian tsar, the ruler of Russia, is trying to run out all Jewish people from the country.
Throughout the musical, Tevye examines his Jewish beliefs and questions how he can walk the pathway of his faith when the world around him is changing.
