Fiddler on the Roof

After a sold out season in London, breaking the record for the best-selling musical of all time at the Barbican Theatre, and winning three Olivier Awards including Best Musical Revival,  Fiddler on the Roof  will have its inaugural Australian Premiere at Theatre Royal Sydney. From a powerhouse creative team—directed by Jordan Fein ( Into The Woods ), choreographed by Julia Cheng ( Cabaret ), and designed by Tom Scutt (Olivier & Tony Award winner)—this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience this critically acclaimed production direct from the West End.  It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka. Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, this means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?  As one of the greatest musicals of all time featuring, ‘ If I Were A Rich Man’, ‘ Tradition ’, ‘ Matchmaker ’ and ‘ Sunrise, Sunset ’, this classic musical of joy and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life. Leading the high-octane cast as Tevye is Australian and West end star Troy Sussman ( Back to the Future, Sunset Boulevard ), beloved and decorated Australian icon Sigrid Thornton as Yente, Alexis Fishman ( Anne Being Frank ) as Golde, and introducing rising stars Freya Boltman ( Yiddish Divas ) as Tzeitel, Ellen Ebbs ( Head Over Heels ) as Hodel and Caity Plummer (Sunset Boulevard ) as Chava with internationally acclaimed violinist Ben Adler as The Fiddler. Completing the cast are Maxwell Simon, Felix Star, Jacob Steen, John Waters, Danielle Barnes, Nina Carmen, Romy Juliette Glass, Ksenia Teliatnikova, Andrew Dunne, Damien Bermingham, Mark Doggett, Rubin Matters, Anthony Sheppard, Patrick Whitbread, Alex Mulcahy, Nick Brown, Samantha Stewart, Hanlon Innocent, and Christopher Tendai.
