The initial cast has been announced for Fiddler on the Roof.
Adam Dannheisser, Lara Pulver and Beverley Klein will reprise their Olivier nominated roles in the production with further cast being announced soon.
Fiddler on the Roof is set in the small Jewish village of Anatevka in early 20th-century Imperial Russia. It follows Tevye, a poor milkman, as he struggles to balance tradition with the changing world around him, particularly as his daughters choose love over arranged marriages. It features one of the finest scores ever written featuring 'If I Were A Rich Man', 'Tradition' and 'Matchmaker'.
Led by director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic); the creative team includes choreographer Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designer Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret). Casting will be announced soon.
Adam Dannheisser said: “So incredibly excited and grateful to have the opportunity to revisit this role, this play, this cast and team and the proud, brave world of Anatevka.”
Lara Pulver said: “After our acclaimed, sold-out run at Regent’s Park, I am thrilled to be part of this magical production for its limited run at the Barbican. I hope many more will be swept up by our stellar cast of musicians and actors and will find it as thought provoking, entertaining and infinitely hummable as this iconic show can be.”
Beverley Klein said: “I’m so excited to be returning to the Barbican after 40 years, where we rehearsed and performed the original production of ‘Les Misérables’. I’m back there at last with our wonderful production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ direct from Regent’s Park and I’m so happy to be playing Yente once more.”
Fiddler on the Roof will play at the Barbican Theatre from 24 May to 9 July 2025.
