Description
Performed outdoors by a cast of 40 and a live professional orchestra. Ticket discounts for seniors, children, season tickets, groups. Ask about Kids Come Free, which gives free tickets to children and teens 16 and younger who are attending with adults.The universal story of tradition versus change is beautifully told in one of the most famous and popular musicals in Broadway history, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. The tale of Tevye and his daughters, based on Sholem Sleichem's short stories, is set in a poor Jewish village in Czarist Russia in the early years of the twentieth century. The themes are universal -- tradition, family, love and marriage, regret and optimism -- and the characters are honest, funny, and memorable. Songs like "Sunrise, Sunset," "If I Were A Rich Man," and "Matchmaker" help tell this dramatic story in the best traditions of American Musical Theater.
The original 1964 Broadway production, with a cast including Zero Mostel and Beatrice Arthur, won 9 Tony awards, ran for 8 years, and was the first Broadway musical to surpass 3000 performances. It has had four Broadway revivals, a very successful 1971 film adaptation starring Topol, and continues to enjoy great international popularity.
Come early and enjoy a picnic, a walk in Joaquin Miller Park, and the beautiful bay views with your family. As the sun sets, take your seats in the outdoor theater and enjoy an evening of music and magic under the stars.
