Initial Casting Announced For Fiddler On The Roof In London
Initial casting has now been revealed for the 13-time Olivier-nominated Fiddler on the Roof, which will showcase at the Barbican in London from May 24th - July 19th as part of its summer season. The musical opened at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre last year to rave reviews.
Adam Dannheisser (who was nominated for 'Best Actor in a Musical') as Tevye, Beverley Klein (also received a nomination for 'Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical') as Yente, and Lara Pulver (who was nominated for 'Best Actress in a Musical') as Golde will all reprise their roles at the Barbican.
Adam Dannheisser commented: “So incredibly excited and grateful to have the opportunity to revisit this role, this play, this cast and team and the proud, brave world of Anatevka.”
Beverley Klein said of the appointment: “I’m so excited to be returning to the Barbican after 40 years, where we rehearsed and performed the original production of Les Misérables. I’m back there at last with our wonderful production of Fiddler on the Roof direct from Regent’s Park and I’m so happy to be playing Yente once more.”
Lara Pulver also added: “After our acclaimed, sold-out run at Regent’s Park, I am thrilled to be part of this magical production for its limited run at the Barbican. I hope many more will be swept up by our stellar cast of musicians and actors and will find it as thought-provoking, entertaining and infinitely hummable as this iconic show can be.”
Fiddler On The Roof is set in 1905, in the tiny village of Anatevka, where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, finds himself caught between a fast-changing world and tradition as he attempts to marry off his daughters but all three push back in their desire to marry for love.
