Fiddler on the Roof

More than 100 years ago, Yiddish author Solomon Aleichem penned a handful of stories about Jewish life in Imperial Russia. One of those stories — Tevye the Dairyman — was transformed into an original Broadway musical: Fiddler on the Roof. Thanks to legends like Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein, the show debuted in 1964, won three Tony Awards, and became the first musical theater show in history with more than 3,000 performances. Now, as the show celebrates its 60th anniversary, you can witness this cultural phenomenon in the coming week as the Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre puts on its own rendition at North Idaho College’s Schuler Performing Arts Center
