run. It was nominated for ten Tony Awards. It won nine of them This included Best Musical, best score, book,

five daughters. He attempts to maintain his family and Jewish religious
traditions while outside influences
encroach upon their lives. His three older daughters are strong willed
in their actions. —each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of his faith- Also, he must deal
with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews
from their village.
