the household going. She is very concerned that her daughters make good
matches and have easier lives than she & Tevye have had. Good comic
timing for very funny lines.<br style="" class=""> <br style="" class=""> Tzeitel, the eldest daughter Female 18-25 Alto<br style="" class="">

traditions. She has a desperate crying scene with Tevye when faced with

This Russian military official stationed near Anatevka, knows the
villagers well, and even likes some of them, particularly Tevye. But
these superficial relationships don’t prevent him from carrying out
