For family night, Family Home Evening we took a drive up to Sundance, you know Robert Redford's place to see The Fantasticks.
It is quite a hike up to the theatre and we were so lucky to find a seat on the benches!
Sundance Theatre is rustic but very charming.
The Fantasticks is a 1960 musical. It is a clever story concerning two fathers who put up a wall between their houses to ensure that their children fall in love ... well because you know children always do what their parents forbid! The show's original production ran a total of 42 years and 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running musical.
The cast members are great singers and actors, especially Henry! And really, who doesn't enjoy a good love story! It was a fantastic night with Mark and Tiff in another beautiful mountain setting. This is my favorite song from the musical ~ it might be familiar if your of a certain age!
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.Try to remember the kind of September
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.
