Apparently Roleystone’s production of “The Fantasticks” opens tomorrow…

Does anyone out there know anything about this production?
Or for that matter does anyone know anything about the show itself?

It has been billed as the “World’s Longest Running Musical”.
I always though that title went to “Chorus Line”, but hey, what do I know, ACL closed quite a few years ago, something could have overtaken it…

I have seen the video of “Fantasticks” and didn’t like it, although all the reviews of it I read said that it was a very disappointing version of a great musical.
(Would this make it like “Camelot”? Great show, shame about the film…)

Has “Fantasticks” been done in Perth before? Recently I mean.

IÂ’ll most probably go see the show anyway, it certainly not one of these shows that gets dragged out every couple of months, but IÂ’d like to go in there with a little bit of advance warning as to what to expectÂ…

Checked my database of shows seen (oh, how anal) and I saw "The Fantasticks" on the 22nd of August, 1990. I guess that we are still talking about the same show but I have it down as being a Stirling production. Hmmm! Maybe I got confused because Maureen worked with them alot....anyhoo.

PS: Say "hi" to the lovely Jaquie for me please Craig.
