Fiddler on the Roof, a musical by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, made its Broadway debut September 22, 1964. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters and other tales by Sholem Aleichem.
It was the first musical to surpass 3,000 performances and held the record for the longest-running Broadway musical for 10 years until Grease surpassed it. It was nominated for 10 Tony Awards and won 9.
Zero Mostel played Tevye and Bea Arthur appeared as the matchmaker Yente.
