Fiddler on the Roof

Most of the cast including Tevye and Golde, Perchik and Hodel.

Tevye pretends to have a dream to trick Golda into letting Tzeitel marry the tailor (whom she loves) instead of the butcher. In the supposed dream, the ghost of the butcher's dead wife comes up from the grave and threatens to kill anyone who marries her husband.

Tzeitel, Hodel, Chava, Shprintze and Bielke.

The fiddler is not exactly a main character- he never speaks. However, what is important about the fiddler is that he is present for all the important moments in Tevye's journey that is shown in the musical.

Perchik is a young, rebellious student from a university in Kiev. He wants to marry Tevye's daughter, Hodel. He ends up getting arrested for protesting against the Tsar and is sent to prison in Siberia.

well there was this guy on a roof, and he was fiddlin, and then a little boy walking past him said to his mom: 'look mama! a fiddler on the roof!'

she was jewish during the holocaust but fell in love with a christian russian soldier, and her father said that she was dead to him because she married him after he had refused to let her.

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.

In Fiddler on the Roof, the butcher is named Lazar Wolf.

Don't know how long Zero played in Fiddler, but he was replaced by Herschel Bernardi.

The kind of food that would be appropriate would be foods popular among Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jews. These foods include gefilte fish, matzoh ball soup, challah, pierogies, and blintzes.

Russian folk music and opera

None. The 70th Academy Awards took place in May 1998. Fiddler on the Roof was released in 1970 and therefore was ineligible for consideration in 1998.

The film won three Academy Awards and two Golden Globes in 1971. It won Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound. It also won Golden Globe's "Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy)" category, and "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy" for Topol's acting.

'May it be His Will that the Divine Presence should rest on the work of your hands.'

Hodel sings the most out of the three sisters in Fiddler! Here are the songs she sing in:

Tradition- Chorus

Matchmaker- Trio w/ Chava and Tzeital

Sabbath Prayer- Chorus

Sunrise, Sunset- Small solo

Now I Have Everything- duet w/ Perchik

Far From the Home I Love- solo! She gets the entire song!

Traditionally, no. Because the entire show is about tradition, and Hodel comes from a very strict Jewish family, there is usually no kissing. However, this is subject to change per your Director's whim.

No. Performances must be licensed through MTI.

A classic trick question! inthe film the non-speaking but violin-playing title character was none other than the famed violinist Isaac Stern. Many peole will say Zero Mostelbut the actual Fiddler( a non-speaking role) Was Isaac Stern. Yente

Yes, fiddler on the roof, is a metaphor. Tevye basically states this in the first scene "we are all like... a Fiddler on the ROOF!" as the first song Tradition (which is another very heavily used theme in the show) The fiddler and his shakiness, almost falling over, as Tevye also states in his opening "speech" represents the breaking with tradition that Tevye and his family do throughout the show.

The movie won 2 out of the 5 Oscar nominations it received.

The film, "Fiddler on the Roof," won for: "Best Sound"; and "Scoring: Adaptation and Original Song Score."
