Fiddler on the Roof Is Heading To Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre This November
Following a triumphant win for Best Musical Revival at this year’s Olivier Awards – as well as Best Set Design and Best Sound Design – the show will be in Kent from Tuesday 11 to Saturday 15 November 2025.
This is the first UK tour of this classic musical in over 12 years – offering audiences in the county and the rest of the UK a rare opportunity to see this musical masterpiece in an acclaimed new production.
The production is led by the powerhouse creative team of director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma), choreographer Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designer Tom Scutt (Winner of the 2024 Tony Award for Cabaret). The story unfolds in 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka, where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
Showcasing one of the finest scores ever written, featuring If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset, the classic musical of joy, revolution and community is an exuberant celebration of love and life.
Leading the cast in this spectacular production is Matthew Woodyatt as Tevye, Jodie Jacobs as Golde and Olivier Award nominee Beverley Klein as Yente. Co-stars are Natasha Jules Bernard as Tzeitel, Georgia Bruce as Hodel, Hannah Bristow as Chava, Ashleigh Schuman as Shprintze and Georgia Dixon as Bielke. They are joined by Siôn Lloyd as Mordcha / Innkeeper, Dan Wolff as Motel, Greg Bernstein as Perchik and Gregor Milne as Fyedka. Michael S. Siegel takes on the role of Lazar Wolf, with Mark Faith as the Rabbi and Toby Turpin as Mendel. Gareth Davies appears as Avram, Ed Bruggemeyer as Nachum, Sue Appleby as Shandel, Susannah van den Berg as Rifka, and Carys McQueen as Mirila. Olivier Award nominee Raphael Papo brings to life the iconic role of The Fiddler and Roman Lytwyniw as the alternate Fiddler, with Karl Wilson as the Constable.
