Broadway's beloved musical Fiddler on the Roof is set to grace the stage at the Lakewood Cultural Center, brought to the local community in partnership with Performance Now Theatre Company. Scheduled to run from March 14 through 30, audiences can experience the rich tapestry of a Jewish family's life in Tsarist Russia, with performances every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m.
The narrative follows Tevye, a poor milkman, and his family as they navigate to keep intact their cultural traditions amidst the pressures of an encroaching modern world. The show features well-known songs like “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and “Sunrise, Sunset.” Tevye’s wisdom resonates through the ages with quotes such as, “Life has its ups and downs, …but you've gotta have a little rain every once in a while to appreciate the sunshine,” according to the City of Lakewood.
Reviewer Beki Pineda praised the Production Now Theatre Company, describing it as a first-class organization in every sense of the word that creates some of the best musical productions seen in this community. With a cast led by Joel Silverman as Tevye, Amy Sheff as Golde, and a company of more than 25 talented performers, the production promises to deliver a combination of heart, humor, and historical context.
