An incredible score and great story make up this award-winning musical.  The main character is Tevye the milkman.  The play takes place in 1905 during a turbulent time in Czarist Russia.  The small village of Anatevka is the setting.  Tevye and Golde have five daughters who are the focal point of the musical.  The songs include "If I were a Rich Man," "Sunrise Sunset," "Matchmaker," and "Tradition."  It is one of the longest running musicals on Broadway.  The production hasn't been on the Chanticleer stage since 1972.
