Fiddler on the Roof tour announces casting

The tour cast for Fiddler on the Roof has been revealed.

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 is currently playing a hit run indoors at the Barbican Theatre.

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.”

Leading the cast is Matthew Woodyatt as Tevye, Jodie Jacobs as Golde and Beverley Klein as Yente. Co-stars are Natasha Jules Bernard as Tzeitel, Georgia Bruce as Hodel, Hannah Bristow as Chava, Ashleigh Schuman as Shprintze and Georgia Dixon as Bielke.

They are joined by Siôn Lloyd as Mordcha / Innkeeper, Dan Wolff as Motel, Greg Bernstein as Perchik and Gregor Milne as Fyedka. Michael S Siegel takes on the role of Lazar Wolf, with Mark Faith as the Rabbi and Toby Turpin as Mendel.

Gareth Davies appears as Avram, Ed Bruggemeyer as Nachum, Sue Appleby as Shandel, Susannah van den Berg as Rifka, and Carys McQueen as Mirila. Olivier Award nominee Raphael Papo plays The Fiddler and Roman Lytwyniw is the alternate Fiddler, with Karl Wilson as the Constable.

Rounding out the cast are Simon Anthony as Sasha, Jack Osmond as Russian #1, and Alex Pinder as Russian #2. Dylan Saffer joins as a male swing, with offstage swings Chris Draper and Maya Kristal Tenenbaum completing the company.
