Fiddler on the Roof

This was one of my favorite musicals when I was a kid. Of course, I never saw it, but I memorized all the songs from our vinyl album. The movie version of Fiddler on the Roof didn't come out until I was a teenager, and it never played at our local theater anyway. But when I finally saw it years later, all that childhood nostalgia came back. 

It's the story of an everyday Jewish father in Imperial Russia (now Ukraine) dealing with the modern world through the marriages of his three oldest daughters. They each break from tradition in increasingly unacceptable ways to marry the one they love. Meanwhile, we get to enjoy some awesome production numbers.
