Fiddler on the Roof, the classic musical composed by Jerry Bock, with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick and book by Joseph Stein, has been entertaining audiences for over 60 years. In the summer of 2024, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London celebrated this milestone with a new production, directed by Jordan Fein and featuring a majority Jewish cast. Adored by critics and playing to capacity crowds each night, the production would go on to receive a total of 13 Olivier nominations, making it, along with Hamilton, the most nominated musical in the history of the awards. Join Rabbi Rose Prevezer, Fiddler on the Roof’s Jewish History and Culture Consultant, for a behind the scenes peek into how this much loved musical was adapted for the current moment. From cast to costumes, design to music, we will explore how the new production compares to past productions, how it succeeded in reaching different audiences, and how it can serve as a model for bringing authentic and increasingly diverse representations of Jewish culture and community to life on stage and screen.
