Fiddler on the Roof alum Alexandra Silber will gather a group of talented stage friends for an upcoming literary and musical evening featuring her acclaimed Fiddler sequel novel After Anatevka. The event, to be held at off-Broadway's Minetta Lane Theatre on August 13 at 7:00pm, will be recorded for release on Audible.
The night will feature new songs written by Broadway composers inspired by excerpts from the novel. Joining Silber will be her former Fiddler co-star Samantha Massell and Fiddler lyricist Sheldon Harnick, along with Patrick Page, Santino Fontana, Jessica Fontana, Ellie Fishman and Ben Moss, who will serve as the evening's musical director.
Picking up where Fiddler on the Roof left off (based on the original stories by Sholem Aleichem), After Anatevka centers on Tevye's daughter Hodel and the adversities she faces in her extraordinary attempt to reunite with her politically imprisoned fiancé at a Siberian work camp.
Silber first presented a starry reading of After Anatevka at the 92nd Street Y in 2017.
