Count me as excited, provided of course it's a good production. That show is pure theatre. I just hope they don't try to update or expand it in anyway. In the case of this show, less is most certainly more.

Considering that the author is directing the production, I doubt there will be any big changes.

Any casting ideas??? I personally think that for Matt and Luisa they should use unknowns . . . but NOT more straight out of college unknowns. I'd rather have people that have been around working a bit, at least, even if we don't know their names yet . . .
For already established people, I think Celia would be great, but i don't imagine she would want the difference in pay going from a bway contract to off-bway.
Thoughts?

I think they should cast a gay actor as Matt.

Has there ever been a straight actor to play him?
THE FANTASTICKS, Off Broadway, was a wonderful starting ground for a lot of great musical theatre performers like Kristin Chenoweth, Betsy Joslyn, Carole Demas, F. Murray Abraham, Jerry Orbach etc.
I hope they keep that tradition. I would hate to see well known performers in these roles - it would ruin it.

It's a little known fact, but Loretta Swit played The Mute for several months before MASH beckoned.

I'm unbelievably excited for this piece to return. I hope it captures the original and uses unknowns.
