Penelope “Penny” Vanderhof Sycamore:
His daughter; a lively middle-aged woman who writes plays and paints as hobbies because it makes her happy, but is terrible at both. Penny is a loving mother and wife who is constantly concerned with the welfare of her family. Her main goal is to make sure everyone is happy, particularly her daughter Alice. Mother of Alice and Essie, wife of Paul Sycamore.
Alice Sycamore:
The only normal family member. She has an office job and is sometimes embarrassed by the eccentricities of her family, yet deep down, she still loves them. Daughter of Penny and Paul, fiancé of Tony Kirby.
Tony Kirby:
Fiancé of Alice, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kirby. He sees how, even though the Sycamores appear odd, they are really the perfect family because they love and care about each other. His own family is very proper and has many issues none of them will admit. He is vice president of Kirby and Co

He is the ballet instructor of Essie, aware that she is untalented at dancing, but knows that she enjoys dancing so he keeps working with her.

seeking:
Tevye, the Dairyman:
Tevye is a likeable, hard-working, pious man who sees the positive side of life. He has raised his five daughters according to the Scriptures, many of which he invents himself. He is humorous and relaxed, but when pushed, Tevye can show stubbornness, and at times, rage. Strong Baritone
Golde,
Tevye’s wife: Golde is the real strength behind Tevye, the one who keeps the household going. She is very concerned that her daughters make good matches and have easier lives than she and Tevye have had. Golde must be a strong singer with comic timing.
Lazar Wolf
