Fidder on the roof / Savoy Theatre
One of the best-loved stage and screen musicals of all time.
Tevye, the dairyman is an old-fashioned father who, like the other fathers in the small village of Anatevka, has raised his children to uphold the age-old Jewish customs of his ancestors. Now the time has come to find husbands for his beloved daughters and as tradition dictates, suitable matches must be made. But this is Tsarist Russia, 1905 and as the nation teeters on the brink of great upheaval, Tevye is soon to find the young are guided by their hearts not their elders.

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF has captivated audiences around the globe since its original Broadway opening in 1964. Winner of 9 Tony Awards, the spectacular stage show went on to become a smash-hit Oscar-winning film and features some of the most memorable songs in musical history, including Tradition, Matchmaker and the unforgettable If I Were A Rich Man.

Savoy Theatre
Designed by C J Phipps and built in 1881 for Richard D'Oyly Carte who was responsible for bringing together W S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, this theatre was the first public building to be lit by electricity and is now a Grade II listed building.   Productions in the early years were almost exclusively Gilbert and Sullivan and became known as the Savoy operas.   Their long reign is marked by full-length portraits hanging in the theatre.
