No, it does. Literally. The Porchlight Music Theatre opened its 15th anniversary season this month with The Fantasticks. Based on Edmond Rostand's Les Romanesques with music by Harvey Schmidt and a book and lyrics by Tom Jones, this classic has produced Broadway standards such as "Try to Remember." The Fantasticks is simple parable about love and all of its intricacies. Our Romeo and Juliet-esque heroes learn through the difficulties of maturity that fulfillment is found no further than their own backyard in each other arms. The current production is running at the Theatre Building Chicago now through November 15, 2009.
