" El Gallo, "The Fantasticks" The world's longest running musical beckons lovers old and young to take a romantic journey into the world of "The Fantastic ks." opening this Friday at the Egyptian Theatre. Park City Performances proudly presents this production, now celebrating the 37th anniversary anniver-sary of its off-Broadway debut at the 153-seat Sullivan Playhouse in New York City where it still plays today. Written by two college buddies. Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, for a summer production at Barnard College in New York, the musical is based on an obscure play called "Lev Romanesques" by Rostand. It was a spoof on young love where two fathers invent a feud in hopes of bringing their children chil-dren together. Similarly. "The Fantasticks" tells the story of a young couple. Matt and Luisa. who are reveling in their new-found and forbidden love. Their fathers, who secretly want the two children to be together, conspire to create a rift between the two families, hoping that a little reverse psychology will work to their advantage. Their plot, however, howev-er, backfires, and the lovers spin away from each other into their own personal discovery.

I had a few reservations reserva-tions about "Rosalinda." Should any ballet, really need two pages, single-spaced, fine print, of program pro-gram notes to explain itself? Choreographer George Balanchine. founder of the New-York New-York City Ballet used to say "You can't choreograph mother-in-law."" "Rosalinda" choreographer choreo-grapher Ronald Hynd has attempted just that, and the result is a live performance like a lavish silent movie with sumptuous sump-tuous sets and costumes. "Rosalinda's" wordiness comes from its source, the Johann Strauss operetta "Die Fledennaus." which has almost as many entrances, exits, mistaken mis-taken identities and door-slam-mings as a French farce. Hynd has updated his ballet from the original 1847 to 1920s Vienna, complete with a Hungarian carda danced with a cigarette holder. Literally translated as "The Bat." this airy version of "Die Fledennaus" centers on Rosalinda who, when we first see her, is having a bad day. Her husband. Gabriel von Eiscnstein, is hung over. However, he is not at all guilt-ridden guilt-ridden at having left his best friend.

And this savings does not require the purchase of another residence The seller or spouse must be 55 before the date on which the home is sold to qualify for this one-time exclusion.

The sale will be completely tax free if you qualify under the above criteria and the gain on the sale of your home is $125,000 or less. Any gain in excess of $125,000 would be taxable.

The show is directed by Park City resident Dana Keiter. low." Mark Daniels, who plays the boy Matt, is excited to be making his first appearance at the Egyptian Theatre. At the age of 28. he said it has been a challenge to play a 19-year-old. but draws on his everyday experiences with teenagers from Hillcrest High School in Salt Lake City where teaches theater. He says it's been hard to remember how naive teens are at that age where "you think you know everything you need to know, but you don't." "Matt is very innocent yet thinks he is knowledgeable." says flaky chambermaid. Rosalinda manages to get her husband off to work whereupon the doorbell never stops ringing with a succession suc-cession of irate policemen, a former lover eager to see her again, and Dr. Falke (minus his bat costume) who is planning a masked ball, and with it, revenge. When the dancers have time to dance. "Rosalinda" is as effervescent as champagne. However. Act 1 keeps the dancers so busy explaining the story through mime and facial expression that what dancing occurs is almost incidental to the convolutions of the plot. One of the few exceptions is a delightful "trio." danced by Rosalinda, her suitor Alfredo and his violin. Alfredo knows that what really melts his lady's heart is his music, and so he keeps playing for her. no matter how passionate their dance becomes. John Lanchberry, the English conductorcomposerarranger, has added sound effects that punctuate, as well as help explain the scenario. He also added to the original score by including "Thunder and Lightning Polka" and the "Blue Danube Waltz." which in Act I has its surge and momentum reduced to providing accompaniment accompa-niment to tailoring alterations.

"(Matt ) is much deeper than 1 thought." continues Daniels, "especially "espe-cially as he enters into the second act and finds out what the world has to offer.
