Following a triumphant win for Best Musical Revival at this year’s Olivier Awards – as well as Best Set Design and Best Sound Design – the critically acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof, comes to Leeds Grand Theatre from Mon 28 July to Sat 2 August in what is set to be the theatre event of the year.

This will be the first UK tour of this classic musical in over 12 years – offering audiences around the UK and Ireland a rare opportunity to see this musical masterpiece in a spectacular new production.

Leading the cast in this theatrical triumph, direct from its current summer season at London’s Barbican Theatre, is Matthew Woodyatt as Tevye, Jodie Jacobs as Golde and Olivier Award nominee Beverley Klein as Yente. Co-stars are Natasha Jules Bernard as Tzeitel, Georgia Bruce as Hodel, Hannah Bristow as Chava, Ashleigh Schuman as Shprintze and Georgia Dixon as Bielke.

The story of the musical takes place in the tiny village of Anatevka in 1905 where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?

One of the greatest musicals of all time with one of the finest scores ever written – featuring If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset  this is the classic musical of joy, revolution and community, and an exuberant celebration of love and life.
