Fiddler on the Roof (Harvey Fierstein)
Choose options
The 2004 Broadway revival of Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, and Joseph Stein’s 'Fiddler on the Roof' at the Minskoff Theatre entered a highly successful new commercial chapter when stage titan Harvey Fierstein took over the role of Tevye. Fierstein infused the philosophical milkman with his trademark gravel-voiced baritone and a deeply moving paternal warmth, re-examining the text's core conflicts surrounding changing generational values and traditional faith with a raw, modern nuance. Directed by David Leveaux, this casting milestone proved a massive box-office draw across New York.
