Magic, beguiling fiddler, romance, song, and dance? Yes, please, thank you.
The engaging Cleveland Play House production, directed by Michael Barakiva, lights up Playhouse Square’s Allen Theatre. It makes clear why Tony Award-winning Fiddler on the Roof has remained popular since its 1964 Broadway premiere. With book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, produced by Harold Prince and choreography by Jerome Robbins, it’s an affirmation of creativity and community.
