Singers Needed for "Fiddler on the Roof" Musical Show
The company is holding auditions for "Fiddler on the Roof" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Fiddler on the Roof is among the best-known and most highly-regarded musicals of American theatre. It’s the story of a humble dairyman who is faced with maintaining religious and cultural traditions in a time of tumultuous change. The Tony Award-winning score by composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick includes favorites such as “Sunrise, Sunset”, “If I Were a Rich Man, and “To Life”. Joseph Stein’s touching and deeply human book is based on stories by author Sholem Aleichem who wrote about Jewish life in a village in Imperial Russia at the turn of the twentieth century. The range of human emotions from joy, to surprise, to sorrow, to despair are captured in this superb stage work.

Please apply if interested.
