McCaughrean, like dramatist Edmond Rostand (and protagonist Cyrano), is a master of ebullient wordplay. ``The Fantasticks,'' written by Tom Jones with music composed by Harvey Schmidt, is based on the play ``Les Romanesques'' by Edmond Rostand. Still, it is possible to generalize and say that most off-Broadway musicals will fall comfortably into one of two categories: the spiritual descendants of The Threepenny Opera, the caustic Brecht-Weill musical that was resuscitated off-Broadway in 1954 after failing on Broadway in '33, and the descendants of The Fantasticks, the sweet, minimalist musical, based on a forgotten Edmond Rostand play, that has been running in its tiny Greenwich Village theater for forty-one years. |
