The times they are a-changin’—indeed. One wonders what Teve the Dairyman would think of this oft-quoted Robert Zimmerman lyric. He’d probably roll his eyes. After all, The Wisdom Books teach us there is nothing new under the sun, including perpetual change. Teve, the central figure of Broadway classic Fiddler on the Roof, is dealing with serious generational shifts as he seeks to reconcile his old-school Jewish convictions with his thoroughly modern daughters’ insistence that they should marry for love. “Tradition,” “If I Were a Rich Man” and “Matchmaker Matchmaker” are among this production’s best-known tunes. Runs through May 26.
