I am very interested to see how the folks at the theater at the Abbey mount THE FANTASTICKS this SEPTEMBER. It opens in two weeks. I talked with the MD/pianist (he did their ZORBA), and contrary to earlier reports, he was able to find a harpist willing to deal with playing all the dates and in the open-air venue, which I'd been told earlier was an issue. So I hope that's still in force and proceeding well.
I'm especially interested, of course, in what this director's concept will be. She pulled off ACT ONE and ZORBA handsomely, but with all the reports this year of FANTASTICKSes going astray all over the damned place, we shall see. Right?
