Fiddler on the Roof is one of the best-loved stage musicals of all time. For more than 40 years, audiences worldwide have been captivated by the play.

It seems theatregoers just can’t get enough of this nine-time Tony award-winning musical that spawned memorable musical hits such as “Sunrise, Sunset”, “Tradition”, “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and “If I were a Rich Man”.

That trend continues this summer as Rosebud Theatre celebrates its 25th Anniversary season. Already, matinee and evening performances in June are nearly sold out.

Bracing for the possibility of having a record setting 20,000 people see Fiddler on the Roof this summer, Rosebud Theatre’s Artistic Director Morris Ertman shares his insights as to why this story resonates so strongly with audiences.
