Singing Opportunities in "Fiddler on the Roof" Production
Talent are invited to audition for the "Fiddler on the Roof" Show. Please see the details below. About the project: Set in 1905 in the Jewish village of Anatevka, the musical follows Tevye, a poor milkman trying to maintain his family's religious traditions while adapting to a changing world in Imperial Russia. The story centers on Tevye's three eldest daughters who each challenge tradition by choosing their own husbands rather than accepting arranged marriages. As Tevye grapples with balancing tradition and his daughters' happiness, the family faces increasing persecution from Russian authorities and rising anti-Semitic tensions in their community. The musical explores themes of tradition, family, faith, and the immigrant experience through memorable songs like "Tradition," "Matchmaker," and "If I Were a Rich Man." The story culminates with the family being forced to leave their homeland, representing the broader Jewish diaspora experience of the early 20th century. Additional info: Auditioners must bring sheet music with them and be prepared to sing 32 bars (about a minute) of a fully memorized musical theater song showcasing the style and vocal range of the character for which they are auditioning. Songs from FIDDLER will be allowed. Additional vocalizing may also be a part of the audition to determine vocal range and harmonizing skills. An accompanist will be provided; no recorded accompaniment is permitted. All people auditioning should be expected to dance at their audition. Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes that you can move in. Script sides will be provided. Be prepared to read scenes with a group or alone if requested.
