This classic story has been memorialized and presented in various formats not only in book form but of course it's a well-known musical, film, and a Broadway show.

As someone who has never seen this play, it was a surprising and delightful read! Fast moving, fun, and quirky, you get a great exploration of Jewish identity and values, as well as a look into family, and exploring the boundaries of tradition and growth.

As you can see the play perform itself in your head, it is definitely on my list to experience it staged as well. If the book was as fun to read as it was, then the live performance is sure to delight even further!

This book contains the script of the movie, Fiddler on the Roof. So, why read the book? Why not just watch the movie? The book, with its easy-to-read format offered me the experience of enjoying the story at my own pace. I stopped and reflected, sang some of the songs aloud, and re-read certain sections. I enjoyed learning how the names of the characters are spelled, and it was a pleasant bonus to me to read the few sections of the script that were not contained in my movie.

The book itself is gift-quality lovely, with elegant artwork showing the fiddler on an attractive yellow background. I thought it might feel awkward reading a play but it took less than two pages for me to forget about the different format and settle right in to the story. While this book avoids political discussion by sticking exclusively to the script of Fiddler on the Roof, I somehow left the story feeling more aware that things like this really happened to people than I have from watching the movie. I like books that lead me to more understanding of people and history.

I think a person who has never seen the movie would enjoy the book and if asked, I would say, “Read the book first, and then watch the movie. Fiddler on the Roof makes one both laugh and think. You’re in for a double treat!” ( )

Tevye, a milkman with a quintet of daughters to marry off and no money for dowries or much of anything else, maintains his equilibrium by adhering to the traditions he knows, respects, and counts on. Increasingly he finds them undermined to the point of collapse by the intrusion of modern ideas and political upheaval. “Every one of us,” says Tevye, “is a fiddler on the roof, trying to scratch out a pleasant, simple tune without breaking his neck” (p. 13) as his position grows ever more precarious.

Aficionados of the twentieth-century American musical theater are well acquainted with Tevye’s travails, as chronicled in the highly acclaimed Fiddler on the Roof, with book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. On the fiftieth anniversary of the play’s Broadway premiere, Crown Publishers, a division of Random House (noted for decades for its hardcover editions of Broadway plays), has reissued the book of this beloved musical. All of the dialogue and the lyrics of the charming songs are here, though not the score.

Reading the libretto, as opposed to watching the movie or a stage production, facilitates contemplating the timelessness of the story. In every era, the new pushes aside the old, and circumstances beyond one’s control change one’s life. The conclusion of the play, when Tevye and the other residents of his village are scattered by a pogrom, not knowing whether they will ever see loved ones again, recalls the dispersal of U.S. Gulf Coast residents as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

Those who enjoy viewing the movie or play will find that reading Fiddler of the Roof adds a new dimension to their appreciation of it. Newcomers to Tevye’s story will find a well-constructed, seemingly simple but deeply wise story of love, loss, and life. ( )

This book is the screenplay for my most favorite musical, one I have seen both in the 1972 movie version and once on stage. If you've enjoyed any production of "Fiddler on the Roof", you should also enjoy reading this version of the screenplay.

I heard the music in my mind as I read the words, and found it much like seeing again this wonderful production of screen and stage. It was fun to read some of the dialogue that my ears never had deciphered, and even coming upon a musical number that I had not seen before.

Even if you are unfamiliar with the Broadway/Hollywood versions, you might appreciate reading a witty yet poignant story of tradition, change, loss, and gain. A keeper for my shelves! ( )
