Publisher's summary

Since it first opened on Broadway in September 1964, Fiddler on the Roof has constantly been onstage somewhere, including five Broadway revivals, four productions on London's West End, and thousands of schools, army bases, and countries from Argentina to Japan. Barbara Isenberg interviewed the men and women behind the original production, the film, and significant revivals - Harold Prince, Sheldon Harnick, Joseph Stein, Austin Pendleton, Joanna Merlin, Norman Jewison, Topol, Harvey Fierstein, and more - to produce a lively, popular chronicle of the making of Fiddler.

Published in celebration of Fiddler's 50th anniversary, Tradition! is the book for everyone who loves Fiddler and can sing along with the original cast album.

Adored.

So comforting to listen to the history of this beloved musical. Especially LOVED the narrator (which is essential). Savor every minute!

A wonderful history of a classic story!

I loved this book! First, I thought the narration was wonderful. I’m pretty sure it was just one person who was able to effortlessly move from American to British English, to impersonating well-known actors.

Hearing about how impactful the show has been to so many people over more than 50 years is heartwarming, and shows how small the world really is.

The Broadway story

Turns too soon to collection of nice nostalgia and triviata. Strongest on production of the initial Broadway show
