This legendary musical tells the story of Tevye, a dairyman, who is attempting to live a normal life filled with Jewish traditions in early twentieth century Russia. He is also searching for appropriate husbands for his three eldest daughters - Tzeital, Hodel and Chava. In a break with tradition, his daughters refuse to accept the wishes of the matchmaker, Yente, and their father. Instead, they marry men that they love. Meanwhile, Russians are instigating terrible pogroms against the Jewish people in Russia. In the end, the Jews of Anatevka are forced to leave their homes and Tevye is determined to start a better life in a new land.
