The eight-week season in London will run from 24th May until 19th July, with group rates available for ten or more people to select performances.

The Barbican season will immediately be followed by a five-month UK and Ireland tour which opens on 24th July until 6th December – the first UK tour of this classic musical in over 12 years.

Stops on the tour include Nottingham (18th - 23rd August), Liverpool (22nd - 27th September), Eastbourne (3rd - 8th November) and Sunderland (24th - 29th November). For full touring dates and venues, click here. 

If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset, are just some of the hit songs from the show which is described as a musical of joy, revolution and community.

Howard Panter, producer, said: “I saw this incredible production last summer and was immediately blown away. I’m delighted – with our partners – to bring this masterpiece to the Barbican and on tour for what will be one of the major cultural highlights of the year.

“It was completely sold out during its Regent’s Park run, so this new production will give many more people the chance to see musical theatre at its very best.”

About the show

It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka where 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 Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar.

This show is the next in the series of summer musicals at the Barbican, as part of a partnership between Trafalgar Theatre Productions and the Barbican.

Toni Racklin, Barbican head of theatre & dance, added: “We are delighted to welcome Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s fantastic production of Fiddler on the Roof to the Barbican Theatre, continuing our wonderful relationship with Trafalgar Theatre Productions in offering our audiences another spectacular summer musical experience.”
