FIDDLER ON THE ROOF ~ Ocean City POPS and the Ocean City Theatre Company

July 11th– 14th – FIDDLER ON THE ROOF presented by the City of Ocean City, Ocean City POPS and the Ocean City Theatre Company- A musical theatre tradition, Tevye the Dairyman, tries to protect his daughters and his way of life from a changing world. Winner of nine Tony Awards when it debuted in 1964, Fiddler on the Roof is the brainchild of Broadway legends, Jerome Robbins and Harold Prince; songwriters, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick; and bookwriter, Joseph Stein. Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this universal show is a staple of the musical theatre canon. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof‘s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. With iconic and beloved songs such as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” Fiddler on the Roofis the perfect mix of audience-pleasing humor and heart. Show times are, 7/11, 7/12 and 7/14 at 7:30pm and 7/13 at 2:00pm. All shows take place at the Hughes Performing Arts Center (6th St. & Atlantic Ave.). Ticket prices are $30 for adults, $25 for kids (12 years and under), and $25 for groups of 20 or more.
