april 2010

The Colonie Central High School Line and Cue student actors group staged its annual spring musical - The Fantasticks - March 18-20. The Fantastics is a 1960 musical with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones. It  is the "world's longest running musical" according to the Guinness Book of Records and earned a 1992 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre Award. The Fantasticks tells the story of a young man and the girl next door, whose parents have built a wall to keep them apart. The youngsters nevertheless contrive to meet and fall in love. Their parents, meanwhile, are congratulating themselves, for they have erected the wall and staged a feud in order to achieve, by negation, a marriage between their willfully disobedient children.
