About the Film
The origin story behind one of Broadway's most beloved musicals, Fiddler on The Roof, and its creative roots in the early 1960's New York, when "tradition" was on the wane as gender roles, sexuality, race relations, and religion were evolving. For the first time, intimate interviews with the show's creators reveal how the tremendous success and worldwide impact of Fiddler and its subsequent film adaptation is most appropriately viewed through thelens of the social upheaval and change in mid-20th century America. Yet, as the film shows the true wonder of wonders and miracle of Fiddler is that audiences worldwide and for the last half-century claim the story as their own. The documentary explores a variety of international productions of the show, detailing how individuals of many cultures see themselves in the residents of Anatevka. The film includes major worldwide productions
from Canada, The United Kingdom, the Netherlands. Special appearance and Q & A with Michael Bernardi, son of Herschel Bernardi, will follow the film. Michael is the youngest Broadway actor to play the role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof.
