Following a magnificent 13 nominations for this year’s Olivier Awards, equaling the record previously set in 2018, Fiddler on the Roof comes to The Alexandra, Birmingham for a Christmas run from Tue 9 Dec – Sat 3 Jan after a triumphant sold-out season at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last year. Casting will be announced soon.
This must-see theatrical event of 2025 has also been nominated for a further 10 Olivier Awards – Best Musical Revival, Best Director, Best Set Design, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Theatre Choreographer, Best Sound Design and Outstanding Musical Contribution. Together with Best Actor in a supporting role in a musical and a second nomination for Best Actress in a supporting role in a musical.
This will be the first UK tour of this classic musical in over 12 years – offering audiences around the UK and Ireland a rare opportunity to see this musical masterpiece in an acclaimed new production, direct from the West End.
Fiddler on the Roof is one of the greatest musicals of all time with one of the finest scores ever written featuring: ‘If I Were A Rich Man’, ‘Tradition‘, ‘Matchmaker‘ and ‘Sunrise, Sunset‘, this classic musical of joy, revolution and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
This electrifying masterpiece is the next in the series of great summer musicals at the Barbican, as part of the partnership between Trafalgar Theatre Productions and the Barbican. This follows the previous smash-hit summer classic musical extravaganzas Anything Goes, Kiss Me, Kate and the multi-award-winning new musical A Strange Loop.
This is a rare opportunity to catch this “liberating, exuberant” (Evening Standard) production, led by the powerhouse creative team of director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic), choreographer Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designer Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret).
It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
