Tradition!
“Barbara’s book traces the history of Fiddler from the stage to the screen. It is a fascinating story filled with laughter and tears.”
Norman Jewison, director of the film adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof
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 fiftieth anniversary, Tradition! is the book for everyone who loves Fiddler and can sing along with the original cast album.
