Tom Scutt's visually stunning design, influenced by Ukraine's wheatfields, complements Jordan Fein's emotionally resonant production of 'Fiddler on the Roof'. The show features memorable melodies and songs by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, with Adam Dannheisser as a dignified Tevye and Laura Pulver as Golde delivering strong performances. Choreographed by Julia Cheng, the production integrates dance that enhances the narrative. As the characters face displacement, the themes of tradition and adaptation resonate, drawing parallels to the historical context of antisemitism and displacement still relevant today.
The show is strong on the simple folk melodies that underpin Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's memorable songs. Crucially Adam Dannheisser as Tevye the Milkman dials down the belly-rolling comic antics to offer a work-weary but dignified everyman.
Georgia Bruce as Hodel and Daniel Krikler as Perchik are highlighted, showing a younger generation caught between tradition and modernity, with Hodel especially learning from her mother.
Julia Cheng's choreography integrates the cast's performances in a way that feels natural and organically part of the narrative, elevating the storytelling throughout the production.
The musical poignantly reflects on displacement and antisemitism, echoing the experiences of those who are forced from their homes, enhancing its relevance in today's world.
