What an opening weekend! Four sold-out performances. Four standing ovations. And so many incredibly kind words from audience members who joined us in Anatevka this weekend:

✨ “Broadway quality all the way.”
✨ “It was New York level.”
✨ “Directing and choreography are perfection.”
✨ “Absolutely amazing!”
✨ “The best Tevye I’ve seen—and I’ve seen it many times, including seeing Topol.”

To everyone who came, applauded, laughed, cried, and shared this story with us: thank you so much!

And if you haven’t made it to Anatevka yet, this is your final chance. Due to overwhelming demand, we added a Wednesday evening performance—but fewer than 40 tickets remain! Our remaining regularly scheduled performances are sold out.

HAPPY OPENING WEEKEND! 🎻

We are absolutely overwhelmed by the response to Fiddler on the Roof. Every performance of our originally scheduled run is officially SOLD OUT!

Congratulations to our cast, crew, orchestra, and creative team after months of pouring their hearts into this beautiful story. Thank you, audience, for showing up to support live theatre—and for joining us in Anatevka.

But there’s still one more chance to join us. Because of the incredible demand, we added an additional performance on Wednesday, September 2. Tickets are still available—but we don’t expect them to last.

To life, to love, to family, to tradition—and to a SOLD OUT run! L’chaim!

This week, our cast and orchestra came together for our sitzprobe, bringing together voices and instruments for one of the most exciting milestones of the rehearsal process.

We’re just 8 days away from opening night of Fiddler on the Roof, and we cannot wait to share what we’ve been creating with you. Opening weekend is almost sold out, but a few tickets are still available for August 29 at 7:30pm and for September 3–5!

Opening night is getting closer! 🎻 We’re in the final stretch of rehearsals for Fiddler, and we're on our way to a sold-out run. Only a few hundred tickets remain across all eight performances.

Featuring one of musical theatre’s most beloved scores—including “Tradition,” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” and “Sunrise, Sunset"—Fiddler on the Roof is a timeless story of family, love, tradition, change, and balance.

Our cast and creative team are hard at work as we prepare to bring this extraordinary story to the stage.

Fiddler on the Roof opens August 28! Get your tickets before they're gone. Link in the comments. 🎟️

Set construction is in full swing!

Every board, brushstroke, and carefully carved detail is working toward one goal: creating the world of Anatevka.

Our set builder, Benjamin Iocco, is currently constructing Tevye’s cart and well, using everything from wood to carved foam. While audiences may notice the craftsmanship, our greatest hope is that, once the curtain rises, the scenery simply fades into the story, allowing the characters and themes of Fiddler on the Roof to take center stage.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Anatevka!

Leading up to opening night, we’ll be introducing you to the incredible cast bringing Fiddler on the Roof to life. First up: Tevye, Golde, and their daughters!
