PRINCIPAL CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR FIDDLER ON THE ROOF

Following a magnificent 13 nominations for this year’s Olivier Awards, equalling the record previously set in 2018, principal casting is today announced for this summer’s run of the critically-acclaimed production of Fiddler on the Roof at the Barbican Theatre from 24 May until 19 July. This strictly limited residency follows a triumphant sold-out season at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre last year.

Reprising their Olivier-nominated starring roles are Adam Dannheisser (nominated for Best Actor in a Musical) who plays Tevye, Lara Pulver (nominated for Best Actress in a Musical) who plays Golde, and Beverley Klein (nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical) who plays Yente. Further casting will be announced soon.

This must-see theatrical event of 2025 has also been nominated for a further 10 Olivier Awards – Best Musical Revival, Best Director, Best Set Design, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, Best Theatre Choreographer, Best Sound Design and Outstanding Musical Contribution. Together with Best Actor in a supporting role in a musical and a second nomination for Best Actress in a supporting role in a musical.

Adam Dannheisser said: “So incredibly excited and grateful to have the opportunity to revisit this role, this play, this cast and team and the proud, brave world of Anatevka.”

Lara Pulver said: “After our acclaimed, sold-out run at Regent’s Park, I am thrilled to be part of this magical production for its limited run at the Barbican. I hope many more will be swept up by our stellar cast of musicians and actors and will find it as thought provoking, entertaining and infinitely hummable as this iconic show can be.”  

Beverley Klein said: “I’m so excited to be returning to the Barbican after 40 years, where we rehearsed and performed the original production of ‘Les Misérables’. I’m back there at last with our wonderful production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ direct from Regent’s Park and I’m so happy to be playing Yente once more.”

CLUELESS IS ‘YOUR NEW FAVOURITE MUSICAL!’

The West End’s hottest new show, Clueless the Musical, presented two special evenings at Trafalgar Theatre recently.

Trafalgar’s Joint CEOs Howard and Rosemary joined a host of stars for a special International Women’s Day performance of Clueless on 8 March hosted by the show’s composer KT Tunstall.

The event was in support of The Girls’ Network – a charity who aim to inspire and empower girls from the least advantaged communities by connecting them with a mentor and a network of professional role models who are women.

Then, on 13 April, the yellow carpet was rolled out along Whitehall to welcome theatre critics, celebs and special guests to the Press Night.

WhatsonStage announced that Clueless is ‘your new favourite musical!’, the Independent called the show ‘fun and totally fabulous’, Radio Times crowned it ‘a non-stop party’ and Time Out said Clueless is a ‘witty and charming musical.’
