Yiddish production of Fiddler on the Roof comes to Toronto


Presented by the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company, the newest production with English subtitles, at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre from May 25 to June 7, is directed by Tony and Academy Award winner, Joel Grey. “There is something profoundly moving about hearing Fiddler in Yiddish,” Grey noted in a statement. “The language carries history, humour, sorrow and resilience all at once. Like hearing opera in its original tongue, it deepens every moment. It allows the story to breathe with emotional truth.”
