Fiddler on the Roof

An ensemble stand underneath a large sloping roof

A theatrical triumph, the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s completely sold-out electrifying Fiddler On The Roof transfers to London this summer in what is set to be the theatre event of 2025.

In a strictly limited 8-week season this is a rare opportunity to catch the critically acclaimed production from a powerhouse team directed by Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic), choreographed by Julia Cheng (Cabaret), designed by Tom Scutt (Winner of 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret).

It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka. Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can he hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and embrace the unfamiliar?

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.
