The Fantasticks

We went to see a musical called "The Fantasticks." It was fantastic. I loved it.

It was about a girl and a boy who did the exact opposite of what their fathers told them. So the fathers faked a feud so the boy and the girl would fall in love but they couldn't think of a way for the feud to end so they hired a guy called El Gallo to kidnap the girl so the boy could rescue her. The girl's Father would be so grateful that the feud would end but it didn't workout the way they had planned. They annoyed each other so muh it turned in to a real feud. The boy and the girl ended up together and it worked out ok.

My mom and dad's friend, Cyprian, played El Gallo. He was great! He was funny and I liked his character. The best scene he did, I think, was when the boy stabbed him while rescuing the girl. El Gallo took like 10 minutes to die. He wandered around and half fainted on a woman in the audience. It was funny. El Gallo sang a lot of the songs and his voice was so deep. We tried to sing the songs in the car on the way home but none of us could get our voice as deep as his. My sister got pretty close though.
