Fiddler On The Roof Musical Breaks House Records A fiddler on the roof sounds crazy, no But in our little village o( Anatevka, you might say every one of us is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant simple tune without breaking his neck. It isn ' t easy. You may ask, Why do we stay up there when it ' s so dangerous. ' ' VCe stay because Anatevka is our home . . . and how do we keep our balance ' That I can tell you in one word- TRADITION! And so begins the story of Reb Tcvyc and his family and friends. Fiddler, set in the small village of Anatevka, Russia, takes place on the eve of the Russian Revolutionary period. Along with his problems of marry- ing off his daughters, having a horse that most ot the time can ' t pull his cart, and the modern ideas of life and love brought to the village by the younger generation, Tevye must also cope with the unrest in the country due to his faith. But Tevye, a poor but very religious Jewish milk- man. IS optimistic. He is never without a quote from the Bible or a word to God. Fiddler was performed eight years ago by Red River. This year ' s show was as big. it not bigger, a success than the last. The house sellouts resulted in record box office returns. Help from the tirst Fiddler CiSt. the superb acting and singing, and the close togetherness one gets from a production like Fiddler made the show en|oyable for all those involved. The directors, Mr. Fosse, Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Wolf, and Mrs. Anderson, and the cast and pit band must have a teeling ot satisfaction and pride for making Fiddler on the Roof such an excellent production.
