 This popular 3 hour musical film is located in pre-revolutionary Russia. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and Jewish religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of his faith—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. Fiddler held the record for the longest-running Broadway musical for almost 10 years. |
