The critically acclaimed, smash-hit production, described as "sublime" by The Guardian, enjoyed a triumphant, sold-out run at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre last summer.

Fiddler on the Roof will transfer to the Barbican Theatre this summer, followed by a major UK and Ireland tour.

One of the greatest musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof is set in the small Jewish village of Anatevka in early 20th-century Imperial Russia. It follows Tevye, a poor milkman, as he struggles to balance tradition with the changing world around him, particularly as his daughters choose love over arranged marriages. It features one of the finest scores ever written featuring 'If I Were A Rich Man', 'Tradition' and 'Matchmaker'. Fiddler on the Roof takes you through a story of joy, revolution and community.

Led by director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic); the creative team includes choreographer Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designer Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret). Casting will be announced soon.

Fiddler on the Roof will play at the Barbican Theatre from 24 May to 9 July 2025.
