Fiddler on the Roof
Menier Chocolate Factory · 23 NOV - 09 MAR
One of the world’s most-beloved musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof, comes to the Chocolate Factory in a new staging by Trevor Nunn
Overview
This both joyous and heart-breaking story of the travails of Tevye the milkman and his wife and five daughters features such classic songs as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” and remains a heart-warming celebration To Life – L’chaim!
Critic reviews
Andy Nyman is an excellent Tevye in Trevor Nunn’s tight, traditional revival
The dancing, with choreography by Robbins and Matt Cole, is breathtaking, what with the Cossacks somersaulting and a wedding dance involving bottles on heads (don’t ask, it’s definitely against health and safety rules)
The tears ring true in Trevor Nunn's exuberant revival
In the staging of "Tevye's Dream", Nunn shows the same flair, making the characters who appear from the grave a vivid kaleidoscope of colour to set against the monochrome truths of daily life
Trevor Nunn’s gloomy ‘Fiddler’ is classy but not always fun
Trevor Nunn’s interpretation is thoughtful, warm and intimate
With antisemitism on the rise, Tevye’s struggles with the tsar’s thugs are powerfully topical in this note-perfect production
Much as Nunn strives for a sense of immersion in the shtetl, the show’s big, weird heart pushes back
Trevor Nunn’s production bursts from the stage — but there’s a chill wind blowing, too
