The legendary musical has been enchanting audiences for decades with its heartwarming story, unforgettable music, and some of the most iconic dance numbers in theatre history is coming back to West End for a strictly-limited run. Whether you’re a die-hard Tevye fan or a first-time watcher, Fiddler on the Roof at the Barbican Theatre is a must-see event. Plus, where else can you watch a milkman break into song about his financial woes and still feel inspired?
Set in the quaint little village of Anatevka, Fiddler on the Roof follows Tevye, a hardworking yet comically exasperated milkman, as he struggles to uphold tradition while his five daughters have very modern ideas about love and marriage. With his sharp-witted wife, Golde, at his side (or at least rolling her eyes in the background), Tevye faces the challenge of balancing old customs with a rapidly changing world. All of this is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Russia, where life is tough, but the music and dancing are always top-tier. Featuring an award-winning score by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, this musical is packed with hits like "If I Were a Rich Man," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," and "Sunrise, Sunset." Get ready for a night of laughter, love, and definitely a few tears

The whole quality and feel of the production was palpable from the moment the fiddler started. Costumes, acting, set, atmosphere.. it was spellbinding! I cried at least 3 times but also laughed so much as well,, Bravo!

I've been wanting to see this for ages, but missed the last running. I hadn't realised Headout do theatre tickets too, until I was making a last ditch attempt to find affordable tickets, and to my surprise I found them here. Delighted. The whole experience was super smooth, from purchase to attending. Plus, I found some other activities I'd like to do so will definitely be keeping Headout at the top of my list for go-to activity ideas/tickets. Thank you!Carol
