Fiddler on the Roof is a story about traditions and how sometimes in order to be happy, traditions have to be bent or broken. This is an excellent movie to watch to see how even those set in their ways can change their minds if it benefits their family.

Who played the lead character in the musical Fiddler on the Roof?

I think Zero Mostel first played him on the stage. When the movie was made he was unavailable, so the role went to the Israeli actor who goes by the name of Topol. Not much good with musicals, so you may wish to verify.


Why was Topol a logical choice to play the part of Tevye in the Fiddler on the Roof?

Because he played the part on stageActually, that answer would not be right (answer above). There has to be an explanation for why he was a good part. He had good looks? He had acting skills? He, himself, was Jewish like his character? You need to look beyond the skin to find the flesh. Finding interesting qualities about him might lead you to the answer to this question. Furthermore, I disagree with the answer above, given by someone else.


What is a summary of fiddler on the roof?

This is a play about tradition. Tevye, the lead character, says that without their traditions, the villagers are as shaky as a fiddler on the roof, meaning that if you play the fiddle on the rooftops, you're likely to slip and fall off! Tevye is a milkman with five daughters, and is trying to follow tradition and marry them to good husbands. The oldest one is promised to the butcher, who's Tevye's age -- but she is in love with the tailor, who is her age. Tevye agrees to go against tradition and let them get married. The next daughter falls in love with a revolutionary-minded student and they get married without his permission. He eventually accepts this break from tradition. The third daughter falls in love with a Christian, and he does not forgive her for that after she runs away with him, but at the end of the play, there is hope that he might give in at last. The background of the story is the Russian revolution, and the time of persecution of the Jews in Russia.
