The iconic Fiddler on the Roof is coming to Manchester’s Palace Theatre; don’t miss this timeless musical about tradition, family, and resilience.
From 21st October to 1st November, theatregoers can enjoy the theatrical triumph of Fiddler on the Roof as it comes to the Palace Theatre on its UK and Ireland tour. Winner of three Olivier Awards – including Best Musical Revival – the show’s two-week run in the city is set to be the theatre event of 2025.
Completely sold out at the Barbican in London, this is a rare opportunity to catch this critically acclaimed production direct from the West End. The show has been created by a powerhouse creative team; directed by Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic), choreographed by Julia Cheng (Cabaret), designed by Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2025 Olivier Award for Fiddler on the Roof).
It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka. Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
What is one of the greatest musicals of all time featuring, ‘If I Were a Rich Man’, ‘Tradition’, ‘Matchmaker’ and ‘Sunrise, Sunset’, this classic musical of joy and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
Audiences can expect a production that is as visually stunning as it is emotionally resonant. With intricate choreography, incredible set designs, and a live orchestra bringing the iconic score to life, every performance promises to transport viewers into the heart of Anatevka. This revival captures both the warmth and poignancy of the original, while offering fresh energy that makes it feel both timeless and exhilarating. Jewish News’ review called Fiddler: “A message that resonates more than ever a century later.”
It was also described as: “A simply glorious revival!” by The Times, which gave it an unbeatable five stars.
