First seen at London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in 2024, this Olivier Award-winning production, directed by Jordan Fein, transferred to the Barbican, where it became the venue’s best-selling musical of all time. Set in 1905, Tevye, a milkman in the tiny fictional village of Anatevka, tries to maintain his Jewish traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. But as each daughter challenges his beliefs against the backdrop of a changing world, Tevye must decide whether to hold onto his roots or learn to embrace the unfamiliar. The 1964 musical has a wonderful score including songs such as If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset. Australian and West End performer Troy Sussman plays Tevye, with Alexis Fishman as Golde and Sigrid Thornton as Yente.
