Inspired by the stories of Sholom Aleichem, it brings to life the story of Tevye, his wife Golde and his five daughters who are yearning for something new even as great changes are happening in the world outside their small Jewish village of Anatevka, Russia.  Tevye attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon his life.  He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each daughter's choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs—and with the edict of the Tsar that will evict the Jews from their homeland village.  The score includes such familiar songs as "If I Were a Rich Man," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "Sunrise, Sunset" and "To Life."
