Congratulations to all!
The Fantasticks is the
longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at
the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical
sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends
cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that
manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a
girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The
narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination
and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and
the girl fall in love, grow apart, and finally find their way
back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo’s words
that “without a hurt, the heart is hollow”.
The famous
score, which includes the classics Try To Remember, They Were
You and Soon It’s Gonna Rain, is as timeless as the story
itself.

Longtime Billings

The Fantasticks
 Photos by: Bob Zellar of the Billings Gazette From left, Loren Hart, Lorraine Maddox, Jordyn Armstrong, Q Staton, Dylan Petit and Michael McCallum offer a taste of the action of “The Fantasticks” during a rehearsal for the musical at the NOVA Center. Gerry Roe just can’t seem to shake “The
Fantasticks.” And that’s a good thing. His first taste of the
musical came in 1969, when he auditioned for the role of Bellomy in
the Hollywood production, and ended up performing it six days a week
for eight months. |
