Clarksville, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre reports that this Friday’s 8:00pm opening of “The Fantasticks” has been postponed until next week, due to illness. Our lead actress has tested positive for the flu, and the extra time needed for her rest and recovery has made it impossible for the Roxy to hold rehearsals. (At this time, “Martini Night” is still scheduled to go on as planned.)
Ticket holders are being contacted by the Roxy Regional Theatre regarding exchanges or refunds.
Performances will continue next Thursday, February 20th at 7:00pm.
The Roxy Regional Theatre sincerely apologizes for the short notice and any inconvenience caused by this change in plans, and we thank you for your understanding.
The timeless romantic musical comedy “The Fantasticks” will open Thursday, February 20th at 7:00pm with Buy-One-Get-One-Free admission for military, APSU students and CitySaver coupon holders. This offer can only be redeemed by phone or in person at the box office and must be mentioned at the time of reservation.
Our traditional pay-what-you-can opening night will be postponed by one week and instead be held nest Friday, February 21st at 8:00pm. All tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 7:30pm that evening for a $5.00 minimum donation.
The longest running musical in the world, “The Fantasticks” focuses on young lovers Matt and Luisa, their meddling fathers, and the journey we all must take through adolescent thrills, the growing pains of hurt and betrayal, the highs of passion, the challenges of distance, and the agonies of heartbreak to discover how to truly love. As timeless as the story itself is the famous score, which includes the classics “Try To Remember,” “They Were You” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain.”
Starring Matthew Combs and Annabelle Szepietowski as Matt (The Boy) and Luisa (The Girl), this funny and memorable tale also features Ryan Bowie as El Gallo (The Narrator), Donald Groves as Hucklebee (The Boy’s Father), Brian Best as Bellomy (The Girl’s Father), Benny Jones as Henry (The Actor), David Graham as Mortimer (The Man Who Dies) and Ian Alexander Erbe as The Mute.
