The Academy Award-winning musical about Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman in a Czarist-era Russian village whose life is filled with joy and sadness but always buoyed by the human spirit and his faith in God. Struggling in a time of political flux to find husbands for his three dowry-less daughters, Tevye faces life's challenges with a love of life, devotion to his family, and eternal hope.
Victor Hugo's stirring novel of redemption and revolution is brought to life in this theatrical version. Liam Neeson stars as Jean Valjean, a heartless convict who is transformed by a single act of mercy. Uma Thurman is Fantine, the vulnerable prostitute who begs Valjean to raise her only child, Cosette (Claire Danes). Geoffrey Rush is an ambitious policeman determined to return Valjean to prison. A compelling and powerful human drama.
