JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One of Broadway's longest-running productions is coming to Jacksonville! "Fiddler on the Roof," presented by the FSCJ Artist Series Broadway in Jacksonville, opens at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts Tuesday night.
The show tells the stories of "fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the timeless traditions that define faith and family," the FSCJ Artist Series says in a release announcing opening night of the show, anchored by a "wonderful cast and a lavish orchestra."
The award-winning musical runs Tuesday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 7. Directed by Tony-winning director Bartlett Sher, the production is a fresh take on the beloved classic, with stunning movement and dance from acclaimed Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter.
