John W. Calder III will serve as production stage manager.

"Fiddler on the Roof is one of the undeniable masterpieces of the American musical, and it has been a dream of mine to direct the show," said Price in an earlier statement. "And to think I get to work with my old friend Jason Alexander on this extraordinary piece really is a dream come true. I can think of no other actor more perfect to play Tevye, and I believe he will redefine the role (and the show) for a new generation!"

Adapted from the stories of Sholom Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof centers on Tevye the milkman as he attempts to maintain his Jewish traditions, challenged by new ideas from his five young daughters. The 1965 Best Musical Tony winner features a book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock, and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, with a score boasting such favorites as "Tradition," "Matchmaker, Matchmaker," "If I Were a Rich Man," and "Sunrise, Sunset."
