Great for
Fans of classics | Fiddler on the Roof lovers
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

Everyone was surprised when I revealed that I got a ticket for Fiddler On the Roof through Headout. I was really nervous that I had been scammed. I called up the Barbican Theatre who then thankfully confirmed my reservation. It was a fabulous experience. Thank you Headout.

First of all, I have to say that I've watched many times the film, because I love It. The plot is fantastic. But this time has been different, It has been amazing, wonderful, exciting. The mis en scene is stuning. Also the music and te hight quality the actors and dancers. It has been an experience that I'll never forget. Thank you for that.

The show was fantastic, and everything went perfectly from an organizational perspective. Unfortunately, it was so cold in the theater that it was almost unbearable. The woman next to me even wore gloves. We had to get our jackets during the intermission so we wouldn't have to freeze any longer. Unfortunately, I caught a cold. I've never experienced anything like it before, and it really spoiled the theater experience.

First time holding family tickets on my phone. As a technophobe I was concerned, but they were there when required!
