Tom Jones, the lyricist, director and writer of 'The Fantasticks,' the longest-running musical in history, has died. He was 95.
NEW YORK -- Tom Jones, the lyricist, director and writer of"The Fantasticks," the longest-running musical in history, has died. He was 95.
"The Fantasticks," based on an obscure play by Edmond Rostand, doesn't necessarily have the makings of a hit. The set is just a platform with poles, a curtain and a wooden box. "So many people have come, and this thing stays the same — the platform, the wooden box, the cardboard moon," Jones told The Associated Press in 2013."We just come and do our little thing and then we pass on."
"My mind doesn't grasp it, in a way," Jones said."It's like life itself — you get used to it and you don't notice how extraordinary it is. I'm grateful for it and I'm astonished by it."
