September 22, 1964
“Fiddler on the Roof” opens at the Imperial theatre in NYC.

Songwriting team Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick collaborated with librettist Joseph Stein to write a musical based on stories by Sholom Aleichem. The result was “Fiddler on the Roof”, a story of Tevye, a Jewish milkman in early 1900s Russia who struggles to honor tradition while dealing with the growing anti-Jewish sentiment in his country.

Directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, the production starred Zero Mostel as Tevye and featured Maria Karnilova as Golde, Bea Arthur as Yente, Austin Pendleton as Motel, Bert Convy as Perchik, Joanna Merlin as Tzeitel and Julia Migenes as Hodel.
