Peabody to host “Fiddler on the Roof” “Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as...as a ‘Fiddler on the Roof’” announces Tevye, a humble milkman from the Russian village of Anatevka. And so begins a tale of love and laughter, devotion and defiance...and changing traditions.

“Fiddler on the Roof” the Tony Award winning musical that has captured the hearts of people all over the world with its universal appeal, embarks on its North American Tour. In what is a huge theatrical feat, audiences will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Jerome Robbins’ original Broadway direction and choreography, starring veteran actor John Preece.

A perennial hit since it first opened in 1964, “Fiddler on the Roof” has enjoyed critical acclaim for bringing to the stage a poignant story about the enduring bonds of the family.

Creatively Concerned, and Others; a flamboyant, colorful, late-night Florida cable show host, hounded out of New York by the New Gay Order, who has never fallen out of love with the idea of being gay in its Cinema-size, Technicolor sense; and a craft-crazy Midwestern woman whose wacky projects, including crocheting evening gowns for cats and competitive cake decorating, distract her thoughts from the son she lost to AIDS.
