The Paramount wraps only the second season of its self-produced Broadway musical series, already playing to nearly 20,000 subscribers, with the all-time family classic, Fiddler on the Roof. Nominated for 10 Tony awards, and winner of nine, Fiddler on the Roof is a musical journey of love, loss, faith and family, and ultimately, a celebration of life and all its challenges. From the rich orchestrations andbeautiful score to the powerful production numbers and emotionally charged story, Fiddler is a show everyone should experience.

Think of the unmistakable image of a Fiddler on the Roof...a metaphor for balancing life, for survival and for tradition. Set in Tsarist Russia in 1905, this is the story of Tevye, a simple and loving milkman, who does everything he can to maintain his family and their religious traditions. With five strong-willed daughters, a loyal yet independent wife and an ever-changing society, the safety and stability of his old world is disappearing.

Based on the bookTevye and his Daughters by Sholem Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof - music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, book by Joseph Stein - boasts a song list with some of the most popular titles in musical theater including Tradition; If I Were a Rich Man; Far From the Home I Love; Matchmaker, Matchmaker; and Sunrise, Sunset.
