The historic August 1964 pre-Broadway out-of-town tryout engagement of Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, and Joseph Stein’s 'Fiddler on the Roof' opened at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre, serving as the vital incubator for the property. This brief out-of-town run allowed director-choreographer Jerome Robbins to test the show's complex book structure and its universal themes of tradition and family before New York audiences. This presentation captures the early, unrevised title design treatment utilized before the musical reached the Majestic Theatre, showcasing the legendary initial performance of Zero Mostel as Tevye.
