Initial casting has been announced for the Muny production of the Tony-winning Fiddler on the Roof, which runs July 19–25 on the James S. McDonnell Stage in Forest Park, Missouri.
Directed by Rob Ruggiero with choreography by Parker Esse and musical direction by Darryl Archibald, the company will be led by Adam
Heller as Tevye, Jill Abramovitz as Golde, Samantha Massell as Tzeitel, Hannah Corneau as Hodel, Emerson
Glick as Chava, Jed Resnick as Motel, Clay Singer as Perchik, and Andrew Alstat as Fyedka. Additional casting and creative team members will be announced at a later date.
Based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof has
a book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon
Harnick. The classic musical tells the story of Tevye the milkman, who
clings to the Jewish customs of Anatevka, his hometown in
pre-Revolutionary Russia. As his daughters question these traditions and the world changes around them, Tevye is
challenged to find a new way to learn and to love.
The original 1964 Broadway production, which played seven previews and 3,242 regular performances, won nine Tony Awards, including those for Best Musical and star Zero Mostel. Fiddler on the Roof was previously produced at The Muny in 2016, 2008, 2003, 1998, 1993, 1987, 1982, 1976, 1973, and 1970.
