This Tony Award-winning musical has captured the hearts of people all over the world. Boston audiences will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Chaim Topol, star of the original motion picture, in his farewell performance in the role that made him legendary. Based on the stories of Sholom Aleichem, this timeless classic has been lauded by critics again and again. Filled with a rousing, heartwarming score, which includes “Tradition,” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” “If I Were A Rich Man” and “Sunrise, Sunset,” FIDDLER ON THE ROOF magically weaves music, dance, and laughter into an electrifying and unforgettable experience. Relive a glorious tradition of the musical theatre with Topol’s farewell performance in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF.

I should have been there. Fiddler on the Roof has always been one of my all time favorite movies. I just finished watching the movie with Norma Crane. I just couldn't believe that Topol is still... Expand

Fiddler was fantastic! To see Topol after watching him in the movie countless times was such a treat! I loved it to the end.

This was both a delight and a disappointment: the latter because just before curtain we were told that Topol would not perform; the former because it is one of the best musicals ever, and the... Expand

Unfortunately for the first half of the performance we were in the rear of the balcony and had difficulty hearing. After moving forward and being able to hear made all the difference. Topol was the... Expand

"Fiddler was great, not amazing"
Review posted by: Ferris from Boston, MA, Nov 16, 2009
Although the theme seems dated at times, it is also an enduring message. Topol was great, slower, older, but deeper, more subtle. The dancing and singing were enjoyable. This was not over the top... Expand

"Topol disappoints"
Review posted by: Susan W. from Waban, MA, Nov 16, 2009
The evening did not go well from the start. Show actually started BEFORE 7 p.m. curtain time which left us and dozens of other ticket holders in the lobby, missing "Tradition", the crux of the show.... Expand
