"Fiddler on the Roof," one of Reagle Music Theatre’s top five best-selling shows, returns to Waltham by popular demand from July 11 - 21 starring Boston television personality and IRNE Award winner Scott Wahle as Tevye.

Reprising the role that earned him critical acclaim 10 years ago, Wahle leads a cast of 45 in this timeless musical based on Sholem Aleichem’s beloved stories.
