Fiddler on the Roof JR
Music Director: Felix Suen
Director: Kwok Tsz Wan

Fiddler on the Roof is extremely popular all over the world and is a well-suited choice for children’s productions with its universal theme of hope, love in the family and acceptance, and its interwoven inclusion of music, dance, poignancy and humour.  It was the first Broadway show to play for more than 3,000 performances.  Moreover, it has brought about numerous revivals and a film adaption, enjoyed by generations after generations.  Felix Suen and Kwok Tsz Wan are the music director and director of this upcoming Fiddler on the Roof Jr. presentation respectively.  The two performances will feature an array of beloved songs including Sunrise, Sunset, If I Were Rich Man and Matchmaker.

Set in Tsarist Russia in 1905, Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye, a father of five daughters who tries to uphold traditions in an ever-changing world.  The story parallels many of the challenges faced by our society today and it inspires young people to think about how they should deal with the issues of root, community, tradition, tolerance and faith.
