Final casting has been confirmed for Fiddler on the Roof, the Oliver Award winning production of the classic musical that will take over London’s Barbican Theatre this summer.
Joining Adam Dannheisser as Tevye, Lara Pulver as Golde and Beverley Klein as Yente are Natasha Jules Bernard as Tzeitel, Georgia Bruce as Hodel, Hannah Bristow as Chava, Ashleigh Schuman as Shprintze and Georgia Dixon as Bielke.
The cast also includes Matthew Woodyatt who is the alternate Tevye as well as playing Mordcha / Innkeeper, Dan Wolff as Motel, Daniel Krikler as Perchik and Gregor Milne as Fyedka. Michael S Siegel takes on the role of Lazar Wolf, with Mark Faith as the Rabbi and Toby Turpin as Mendel. Gareth Davies appears as Avram, Ed Bruggemeyer as Nachum, Sue Appleby as Shandel, Susannah van den Berg as Rifka, and Carys McQueen as Mirila.
Raphael Papo brings to life the iconic role of The Fiddler, with Karl Wilson as the Constable. Rounding out the cast are Simon Anthony as Sasha, Jack Osmond as Russian #1, and Alex Pinder as Russian #2. Dylan Saffer joins as a male swing, with offstage swings Chris Draper and Maya Kristal Tenenbaum completing the company.
It’s 1905 in the tiny village of Anatevka where Tevye, a Jewish milkman, lives his life by their proud traditions. For his five daughters, that means a visit from the matchmaker. As each daughter challenges his beliefs, against the backdrop of a changing world, can Tevye hold on to his roots, or must he bend to the will of his children and learn to embrace the unfamiliar?
Considered to be one of the greatest musicals of all time with one of the finest scores ever written, the show features songs including If I Were A Rich Man, Tradition, Matchmaker and Sunrise, Sunset.
It is led by a creative team of director Jordan Fein (Oklahoma, Young Vic), choreographer Julia Cheng (Cabaret) and designer Tom Scutt (Cabaret).
The production previously enjoyed a sold-out season at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last year, before winning Best Musical Revival, Best Set Design and Best Sound Design at this year’s Olivier Awards.
The strictly limited Barbican run, which takes place from May 24 – July 19, will be followed by a five-month UK & Ireland tour from July 24 until January 3, 2026. This will be the first UK tour of the classic musical in more than12 years.
