Directed by Jordan Fein, Fiddler on the Roof is set in the village of Anatevka in 1905, where Jewish milkman Tevye struggles with changing traditions as his daughters challenge his beliefs.

In a four-star review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, our critic said of the Regent's Park run: "In an excellent cast, Adam Dannheisser is captivating as Tevye: likeable, funny and warm. He also has a lovely chemistry with Lara Pulver as a pragmatic and stoic Golde. Their beautiful rendition of 'Do You Love Me?' movingly demonstrates the profound connections of a long marriage."

The producers said: “We are delighted to bring together a first-class cast for this landmark production of Fiddler on the Roof. With Olivier nominees and a host of remarkable new talent, this ensemble embodies the heart, soul, and spirit of this timeless story. Barbican audiences are in for something truly special this summer.”
