Following a triumphant sold-out season at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last year, the critically acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof transfers to London’s Barbican Theatre from 24 May-19 July, followed by a major UK and Ireland tour.
This is the first UK tour of this classic musical in over 12 years, offering audiences around the UK and Ireland a rare opportunity to see this musical masterpiece in an acclaimed new production, direct from the West End.
Fiddler on the Roof is one of the greatest musicals of all time, with one of the finest scores ever written. Featuring ‘If I Were A Rich Man’, ‘Tradition’, ‘Matchmaker’ and ‘Sunrise, Sunset’, this classic musical of joy, revolution and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
With direction by Jordan Fein, choreography by Julia Cheng and design by Tom Scutt, this electrifying masterpiece is the next in the series of great summer musicals at the Barbican, as part of the partnership between Trafalgar Theatre Productions and the Barbican.
Casting will be announced soon.
Producer Howard Panter said: “I saw this incredible production last summer and was immediately blown away. I'm delighted – with our partners – to bring this masterpiece to the Barbican and on tour for what will be one of the major cultural highlights of the year. It was completely sold out during its Regent’s Park run, so this new production will give many more people the chance to see musical theatre at its very best.”
