The Sullivan Street Theatre, where THE FANTASTICKS opened 50 years ago.
The original cast of THE FANTASTICKS back in 1960 included Broadway and TV veteran, Jerry Orbach (best known for his role as Detective Lennie Brisco on LAW & ORDER), as well as lyricist/bookwriter Tom Jones, who will rejoin the revival cast on May 3. Originally written in less than three weeks for a summer production at Barnard College, the show's original run lasted for 42 years; it is consequently the longest running musical. The current production, playing at the Snapple Theater Center, opened in 2006 and is still running strong. MTI is delighted to celebrate 50 years of this beautiful gem of a show, and hopes this revival gives THE FANTASTICKS its second record-breaking run!
