Talent Needed for "Fiddler on the Roof" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Fiddler on the Roof" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Based on Sholom Aleichem’s Tevye and his daughters, Fiddler on the Roof is the beloved story of the small, tradition-steeped town of Anatevka, Russia, where Jews and Russians live in delicate balance. During the course of the show, the time-honored traditions of Anatevka are both embraced and challenged by Tevye and his colorful community, as they witness his daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava, grow up and fall in love in a time of extraordinary change. Fiddler on the Roof’s Broadway premier became the longest-running Broadway musical in history, a title it maintained for almost 10 years. It is a story that captures the essential human longings for love, community, success, freedom, family, and meaning. Fiddler features such iconic songs as the beautiful “Sunrise, Sunset,” the boisterous “If I Were a Rich Man”, and the classic “Matchmaker, Matchmaker.” Additional info: Performance Dates: Full Cast (all ages) Production Performance Dates: Friday August 8 and August 15 at 7pm Saturday August 9 and August 16 at 3pm Sunday August 10 and 17 at 3pm All auditioners will be asked to prepare a 16-32 measure selection of a musical theater song in the style of the show or from the show.
