'Fiddler on the Roof,' the Tony Award-winning musical comes to Denver's Ellie Caulkins Opera House May 18-23. In what is a huge theatrical feat, Colorado audiences will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Jerome Robbins’ original Broadway direction and choreography, complete with the star of the record-breaking Broadway production and gay icon, Harvey Fierstein. Taking a revolutionary look at the doting father, Mr. Fierstein appeals to a whole new generation with his reinvention of the character. Having won four Tony Awards including Best Book of a Play and Best Actor in a Play for 'Torch Song Trilogy,' Fierstein recreated the role in the film adaptation of that script, winning him an Independent Spirit Award nomination as Best Male Lead. His most recent win was the 2003 Tony for Best Actor in a Musical for the Broadway production of Hairspray. In addition to his stage appearances, Mr. Fierstein can be seen on the upcoming seasons of 'Nurse Jackie' and 'How I Met Your Mother.'
