Lara Pulver said: “After our acclaimed, sold-out run at Regent’s Park, I am thrilled to be part of this magical production for its limited run at the Barbican. I hope many more will be swept up by our stellar cast of musicians and actors and will find it as thought provoking, entertaining and infinitely hummable as this iconic show can be.”

Beverley Klein said: “I’m so excited to be returning to the Barbican after 40 years, where we rehearsed and performed the original production of ‘Les Misérables’. I’m back there at last with our wonderful production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ direct from Regent’s Park and I’m so happy to be playing Yente once more.”

The Barbican run will be followed by a major five-month UK and Ireland tour from 24 July until 6 December (tour cast to be announced soon).
