7 roles
Male-identified character. Hardworking and pious Jewish dairyman struggling with the shifting attitudes in 1900s Russia. Husband to GOLDE, father to five daughters. Robust, humorous, and charismatic, likable from the moment we meet him, even through his moments of struggle, stubbornness, and sometimes rage.
Female-identified character. The eldest daughter. She is devoted and dutiful - but wary of having the choice of husband taken from her hands. She is in love with MOTEL the tailor, a gentle and sweet man with no money. She is a good and helpful daughter who is devoted to her family and generally listens to her parents - but when it comes to matters of the heart, she can be incredibly stubborn, and incredibly convincing.
Female-identified character. The second eldest daughter. She is intelligent and opinionated, coming to head with a young student, PERCHIK. Almost in spite of herself, she falls in love with him and eventually leaves Anatevka to join him in Siberia.
Female-identified character. The middle daughter who loves to read. She is sweet and shy and is the "favorite child" of her father TEVYE. She falls in love and runs off with FYEDKA, a Russian soldier, even though she knows that her family will disown her for marrying outside the Jewish faith.
Female-identified character. The meddling matchmaker. She is a widow and village busybody who knows all of the town gossip. Despite her often meddlesome nature, she is funny, kind, warm, and caring. Strong comedic timing and delivery, as well as experience with dialects.
Male-identified character. The poor and meek tailor who shares a deep love with TZEITEL. Sensitive and nervous, yet sincere, appealing, and kind. Excellent tenor who sings "Miracle of Miracles".
Male-identified character. The town butcher and wealthiest citizen who wishes to marry TZEITEL. Gruff in approach, he and TEVYE have a complicated relationship. He is expansive vocally and physically. Will possibly cover TEVYE.
