Overview
Sold out in London, where it broke the record for the best-selling musical of all time, the winner of 3 Olivier Awards including Best Musical Revival, Fiddler on the Roof is coming to QPAC in October 2026.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience this critically acclaimed production direct from the West End.
From the powerhouse creative team directed by Jordan Fein (Into The Woods), choreographed by Julia Cheng (Cabaret), and designed by Tom Scutt (Olivier and Tony Award winner).
It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka, where Tevye, a milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, this means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
As one of the greatest musicals of all time featuring, “If I Were A Rich Man”, “Tradition”, “Matchmaker” and “Sunrise, Sunset”, this classic musical of joy and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
