Fiddler On The Roof - 6/26-8/29

MALE ROLES

TEVYE - Age Range: 40–55 - Vocal Range: Tenor/Baritone (Ab2–F5) - Acting: VERY strong actor who must carry the show and have a strong connection to the audience. He is the heart and conscience of Fiddler on the Roof. - Movement: Move well - Tevye is the humble but wise narrator and main character of the story. His stature comes from his integrity and zest for life. An impoverished milkman in the small village of Anatevka, Russia circa 1905, he is the father of five daughters, husband to Golde, and a leader in his Jewish community. He is faced with many struggles to uphold the traditions of his people, especially concerning the marriages of three of his daughters. Tevye is a likeable, hard-working, pious man (somewhat of a dreamer) who sees the positive side of life. He is humorous and usually relaxed, but when pushed, shows stubbornness and rage.

MOTEL, THE TAILOR Age Range: 18–30 - Vocal Range: Strong Tenor (E3–F#4)- Acting: Great character role needing someone who can show Motel’s sensitive, nervous but loveable character. Must have good comic timing and the ability to show vulnerability. - Movement: Move well - Motel is the meek and very poor village tailor. He seeks the hand of Tevye’s eldest daughter Tzeitel. He must challenge the tradition of parents choosing a mate and in the process comes into his own by standing up for his feelings for Tzeitel.

PERCHIK, THE STUDENT Age Range: 18–25 - Vocal Range: Tenor (B2–E4) - Acting: Strong acting skills. Actor must show intensity and an unfailing commitment to his radical beliefs. He should be able to hold his own against Tevye as he clashes with him idealistically. He is also likeable, charming and ultimately an accepted part of Tevye’s family. - Movement: Move well - Perchik is a visitor and outsider to Anatevka. He brings with him radical views that challenge traditions. Perchik and Hodel (Tevye’s second oldest daughter) fall in love and again challenge Tevye’s beliefs.

FYEDKA, THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER Age Range: 20–30 - Mainly speaking role with featured Tenor solo in “To Life” (soloist could be cast separately) - Acting: Good actor who can use a Russian accent. Gentle with Chava but stands up to Tevye.- Movement: Strong dancer preferable. Dances a Russian dance in “To Life”. - Fyedka is a Russian soldier who falls in love with Chava, Tevye’s third oldest daughter. He and Chava elope because Tevye cannot accept this total break in Jewish tradition.

LAZAR WOLFE – THE BUTCHER - Age Range: 40–60 - Vocal Range: Baritone (C3–F#4)- Acting: Strong, feisty actor with good comic skills. - Movement: Move well - Lazar Wolfe is the brawny and feisty butcher of Anatevka. He is the town’s wealthiest citizen. He is the same age, if not older than Tevye and by the tradition of parental arranged marriages, is matched with Tzeitel, Tevye’s eldest daughter. He loses Tzeitel to Motel and is very resentful.

THE CONSTABLE Age Range: 35–60 - Non-singing role - Acting: Strong character role - The Constable is a Russian military official stationed near Anatevka. He knows the villagers well and even likes some of them, especially Tevye. These superficial relationships do not prevent him from violence against the Jewish villagers and eventually he carries out orders for a pogrom in which the Jewish citizens are forced to leave Anatevka.

She is madly in love with Motel, the Tailor, and in a desperate crying scene persuades her father to let her marry Motel in spite of the fact that Tevye has made her a match with Lazar Wolfe, who is old enough to be her father.

HODEL, 2ND ELDEST DAUGHTER Age Range: Plays 18-22 Vocal Range: Soprano with strong chest voice (B3–E5) - Acting: Strong dramatic actor - Movement: Move well - Hodel becomes involved with Perchik and eventually leaves Anatevka to be with him in Siberia where he is imprisoned for his reform activities.
