Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof continues to touch audiences worldwide with its great humor and heart. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centres on Tevye, a poor milkman, who is deeply devoted to his five daughters and tries to instil them with traditional values in the face of great change and upheaval in Russia. Fiddler’s rousing songs of celebration and beautiful songs of love and loss are some of the best ever written for musical theatre. A spectacular and heartwarming holiday entertainment for the entire family!

"I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jacob at Persephone Theatre in the autumn of 2018 on a complex Actor-Musician production of Fiddler on the Roof. Jacob choreographed and assisted the Director and was invaluable throughout the rehearsal process, particularly on opening day when he took the full rehearsal for the Director, who had to leave unexpectedly."
