Fiddler on the Roof was originally entitled Tevye. It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Milkman) and other tales by Sholem Aleichem which he wrote in Yiddish and published in 1894.  The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives.  He must cope with both the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each daughter\'s choice of husband moves progressively further away from established customs—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
