It's about a Jewish family and the father is trying to marry off his oldest daughter. The yenta (match maker) ends up pairing her up with a baker that is even older than her dad. The daughter is in love with someone else, but the father doesn't want her to marry him instead of the baker because he is poor. One of the songs in the musical is, "If I was a rich man," sung by the father.

Sounds like Fiddler on the Roof
Are you sure it is a baker, not a butcher ?
