MANSFIELD – The Renaissance Theatre will present the Mansfield Symphony’s concert staging of Fiddler on the Roof on Saturday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the OhioHealth Symphony Series.
This unforgettable performance will bring Broadway to the heart of Mansfield for one night only — with a powerhouse lineup of stage and screen stars.
Leading the cast is Broadway favorite Bruce Sabath (Company, Cagney) in the iconic role of Tevye, joined by Lisa Fishman (Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish, National Tours) as the strong and spirited Golde.
Renowned actor, composer, and director Jeff Richmond (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) takes the stage as Lazar Wolf, and Emmy award-winning comedian and actress Judy Gold (The Judy Show, Comedy Central Presents) will bring her signature wit and warmth to the role of Yente, the village matchmaker.
This star-studded cast joins forces with Maestro Octavio Más-Arocas and the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra to deliver a sweeping musical experience — featuring the full script and score of this beloved Broadway classic, performed in concert style.
Without elaborate sets or staging, audiences will be immersed in the rich musical storytelling and timeless themes of tradition, family, and change.
“This is our most ambitious concert staging to date,” says Renaissance Artistic Director Michael Thomas.
“With a cast that blends major Broadway, television, and film talent alongside our amazing local performers, this event is not just a performance — it’s a celebration of what live theatre can do.”
The production also features a vibrant collaboration with the Richland Academy of the Arts Department of Dance, under the direction of Sarah and Marden Ramos, and a cast of more than 30 local and regional performers bringing the village of Anatevka to life.
