This beloved classic has delighted audiences across the globe for over six decades. Tevye, the village milkman, is trying to provide his wife and their five daughters with a life filled with prosperity, faith, and tradition. But a revolution is on the horizon and everything they have come to cherish hangs in the balance. One of the most beloved musicals of all time makes its long-awaited debut on the Asolo Rep stage.

 “One of the great works of the American musical theatre. It is daring, touching, beautiful, warm, funny, and inspiring. It is a work of art.”  - New York Sunday News
