Fiddler on the Roof
“And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word: tradition!”
Tevye, his wife, and five daughters live in Tsarist Russia. He hopes to find fine husbands for each of his girls, men who will follow the Jewish faith and earn enough to made a comfortable life, but each young woman wants to make her own choice. Tevye finds himself placed in precarious position between the tradition he follows and the new ways his daughters accept. A universal story of love, hope, and acceptance.
