WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Now starring Aaron Carter!

The romantic, funny "boy meets girl" tale, with book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt, The Fantasticks is a captivating and simple love story about a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall.

The audience uses its imagination to follow El Gallo as he creates a world of moonlight and magic, and then pain and disillusionment, until the boy and girl find their way back to one other. The score, which includes "Try To Remember," "They Were You" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain," is as timeless as the story itself.

The Fantasticks offers guided backstage tours at all performances! Call 212-921-7862 for details.

A Delightful Revival
This revival may not be quite as good as the original play with Jerry Orbach that opened in Greenwich Village 50 years ago but it?s the next best thing. It is dated and changing sensibilities did require some politically correct modifications to some of the original show?s musical numbers: in an apparent concession to the feminist movement, ?The Rape Ballet? became the ?Abduction Ballet? although the term ?rape,? as it was used in the original production was clearly intended to convey the word?s Middle English meaning ?to seize, take or carry off by force? with no particular sexual connotation. But in a way, the fact that the play was dated only added to its charm and the bit of bowdlerization didn?t detract significantly from the play?s overall effect. The staging, direction and choreography were all excellent and several of the performances were absolutely delightful. Juliette Trafton as The Girl Luisa was lovely and refreshing and she does sing beautifully. Dan Sharkey as The Boy?s Father Hucklebee and Bill Bateman as The Girl?s Father Bellomy were as entertaining in their roles as an old Abbott and Costello duo or burlesque act. McIntyre Dickson as The Old Actor Henry was wonderful in the role originally played by Tom Jones himself who wrote the book and lyrics and directed this production. And Michael Nostrand as The Man Who Dies Mortimer is a Chaplinesque marvel to watch. I have posted an expanded version of this review and reviews of several other plays on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.
