If you’re looking for a heartwarming, crowd-pleasing evening at the theater, you couldn’t do much better than Fiddler on the Roof. Barrington Stage Company is opening a new production on its main stage this week; how can you resist such Broadway standards as “Sunrise, Sunset,” “If I Were a Rich Man,” and “Matchmaker, Matchmaker”?
More important, how can you resist this portrait of rural European Jewish life on the cusp of the 20th century and its attendant horrors and triumphs?
The cast features Brad Oscar as Tevye and Joanna Glushak as Golde, and the production was directed and choreographed by Gary John La Rosa.
