Cleveland Play House brings “Fiddler on the Roof ” to the Allen Theatre stage to close the 2024-25 theatre season. The popular production runs now through May 25.
Directed by Cleveland Play House Artistic Director Michael Barakiva, and featuring a cast of 25, it stars award-winning Broadway legends Robert Cuccioli as Tevye and Joanna Glushak as Golde.
This production of “Fiddler on the Roof ” will include a limited number of onstage seating, integrated into the show’s set design, allowing the audience to be an extension of the cast with an up-close and personal experience. Onstage seats are $29.50 (including fees) and can be purchased online or via phone.
Cleveland Play House Artistic Director Michael Barakiva says, “Fiddler, like many great musicals, tells the very specific story of a very specific community, and the more specific it gets, the more universal the experience becomes. The microscope becomes the telescope. The writers of Fiddler were very clear about how they wanted to tell the Jewish story as a lens for the greater human experience.”
Performances of “Fiddler on the Roof “are 7 p.m. Tuesdays, 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Tickets start at $35.40 (including ticket fees) and $29.50 for onstage seats. Ohio Direction/EBT cardholders receive $5.40 admission to any performance (up to 8 tickets).
