Elephant Stages’ Lillian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
You won’t have to “try to remember” this revival of The Fantasticks by Good People Theater Company. Memorable touches, such as incorporating original production details (like having a harpist in the ensemble), restore the charm and power of this 1958 piece known as “the original fringe musical.” When Matt and Luisa fall in love against the wishes of their feuding families, a modern-day Romeo and Juliet unfolds, with plenty of comedy, drama and music, along with a healthy dose of moonlight and magic. Featuring the beloved songs “Try to Remember,” “They Were You” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” the original off-Broadway run of this timeless musical lasted an astonishing 42 years. Now GPTC brings it back to the stage in all its original glory as a part of the 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
