The empty stage is suddenly filled with actors rushing to be ready for the show. They leap into costumes and place their props and throw clouds of colored paper into the air. The Fantastiks, one of the longest running plays off Broadway, is an American classic that brings audiences back again and again to hear the story of “a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall” and the music that defined generations. an evening of true theatrical magic.
