Fiddler on the Roof by Joseph Stein, 1964
Fiddler on the Roof by STEIN, Jospeh, published by Fireside Theatre Book Club-Crown Publishers, 1964. Condition: photographs; slight discoloration on the dust jacket; otherwise very good condition.
Based on Sholem Alecheim’s short stories, Tevye and His Daughters (or Tevye and the Dairyman), the musical premiered on Broadway in 1964. Initially dismissed as ‘middle-brow’ and ‘too Jewish,’ the play went on to decades of success and acclaim, despite the controversies experienced by the original cast with the director Jerome Robbins, who clashed with Zero Mostel, who was angered by Robbins testifying before the House Un-American Committee in the 1950’s and for hiding his Jewish heritage. The musical has recently been reprised in New York City performed completely in Yiddish, as the stories were originally written.
“You may ask, how did this tradition get started?”
