“The Fantasticks”, known as the World’s Longest Running Musical, presented by Timp Arts, will be playing at The Valentine Theater in American Fork through April 25. This all-time beloved musical began Off-Broadway in the 1960s and ran for 17,162 performances until 2002. It was then revived from 2006 to 2017. Over the years, The Fantasticks cast has included notable Broadway actors such as Jerry Orbach, Burke Moses, and Rita Gardner, to name a few. I really enjoy this musical. I adored the Timp Arts production.

I had the opportunity to see a musical I had never even heard of, at a theater not far from my house (that I had strangely never knew existed), from a theater company producing its first ever show. I was excited for the new experiences. My expectations were not at an all-time high. How can a first-time production from a brand new theater company possibly be as good as some of the many well-established theater companies in the area? Well, I’m here to tell you that Sentinel Theatre is off to a great start. Their production of “Dogfight” was an entertaining night of really well-done theater.
