The legendary Theodore Bikel wrote and stars in this new play with music bringing to life the vivid characters and keen observations of one of the most admired writers of the early 20th century. Bikel, who played Tevye in the original Broadway production of Fiddler on the Roof, gives exceptional voice to Aleichem, adding an enchanting trove of songs from Eastern Europe, inkling several of the Yiddish-language folk classics he?s popularized over the years.
