The upcoming UK and Ireland tour of Fiddler on the Roof has confirmed an additional stop for the festive season.

Directed by Jordan Fein and featuring choreography by Julia Cheng and design by Tom Scutt, the production was first seen at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last summer, being nominated for five WhatsOnStage Awards.

It explores life in the village of Anatevka in 1905, where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, grapples with changing traditions as his daughters challenge his beliefs. The musical features songs including “If I Were A Rich Man”, “Tradition”, “Matchmaker”, and “Sunrise, Sunset.”

We discuss the show at length in our Olivier nominations podcast, which is free to listen to:
