Join us as we journey into the creation of one of the most beloved and enduring musicals of all time, Fiddler on the Roof. Entertainment attorney, former artist manager, songwriter’s son, and award-winning author Harry J. Getzov presents an inside look at the creation, development, and cultural impact of Fiddler on the Roof, the groundbreaking 1964 Broadway masterpiece.
What began as a musical about a Jewish shtetl grappling with tradition, change, and upheaval, became an American theatrical landmark, celebrated for its universal themes, unforgettable songs, and emotional power. Harry will explore the creative forces behind the show and illuminate how Fiddler on the Roof became both a global phenomenon and a deeply personal experience for generations of audiences.
This program reflects Harry's signature presentation style, blending storytelling, historical insight, edited photos, and video clips that bring the musical’s world to life. Harry’s work has been rooted in over twenty years of writing, speaking, and interviews with people from all walks of life. He brings an insider’s perspective, deep knowledge, and warm enthusiasm to every session.
