The Lincoln Broadway Series continues in February with “Fiddler on the Roof,” the Tony Award® winning musical that has captured the hearts of people all over the world, and “Riverdance,” the thunderous celebration of Irish music, song and dance.

“Fiddler,” Jerome Robbins’ original Broadway direction and choreography starring veteran actor John Preece, will run Feb. 3 through 6. “Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as...as a Fiddler on the Roof,” announces Tevye, a humble milkman from the Russian village of Anatevka. And so begins a tale of love and laughter, devotion and defiance – and changing traditions. Tickets start at $23.

“Riverdance” taps into Toledo Feb 15 and 16. “Since 1996, the success of Riverdance in North America has gone beyond our wildest dreams,” said producer Moya Doherty. “The fact that the show continues to draw and excite audiences 15 years after its debut in Dublin is a tribute to every dancer, singer, musician, staff and crew member who have dedicated themselves to the show.”

What began as a seven-minute dance segment on the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest (televised to over 300 million people in Europe) quickly turned into a full-scale production that has become much more than an international theatrical success. Ticket prices begin at $25.

All tickets are available through Ticketmaster outlets, the Stranahan box office, online at theaterleague.com, or by calling 800-745-3000.
