Promotional Poster

Fiddler on the Roof was performed by LOpSoc from the 10th-13th February 2016 in the Annex Theatre. The show featured a record cast size of more than 43 individuals.

Fiddler on the Roof tells the story of Tevye, a poor milkman living in 1905 Tsarist Russia, in the village of Anatevka with his wife and five daughters. Tevye is challenged by the changing of traditions that are taking place in his family, as his three eldest daughters choose to marry for love, rather than have a husband picked for them. The show also follows Tevye and the other villagers within Anatevka's Jewish community, as they are forced to cope increasing persecution they are facing from the non-Jewish community and the Russian authorities.

Memorable Show and Rehearsal Moments

- The Act 2 Man 1 line David Child had been waiting his whole life to say.

- Every time Rosemary Wilson stood in for one of the female soloists.

- The time Ben Walker got punched in the crotch in by Patrick Haste, who was so busy performing a stage punch with one fist that he did not seem to notice what the other fist was doing.

- The house falling apart on stage mid-show, and the excellent save by Ellie-Rose Fowler.

- The frozen peas.

- The collective hallucination of a kickline during "To Life" in the Saturday performance.

Memorable Lines

- "Quiet I'm singing!"

- "I have more than 100 bottles of vodka. What will I do with them?"

- "You can die from such a man".

- "Tzeitel, don't forget the baby!"

- "Well, the Satisfactory Volume has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Kind Of All Right Book has many lessons for our times."

- "Well, the Acceptable Tome has many lessons for our times."
