Successful Opening Night For "The Fantasticks" By LEVEDA SMITH Staff Writer The Fantasticks has arrived. A near-capacity audience attended the opening night performance of this charming musical Thursday in the Logansport State Hospital auditorium.

By far the best characterizations of the evening came from Jim Odom and Richard Harris, who portrayed the fathers of the ill-fated lovers, and Jack Myers and Ralph Fox, the comical itinerant players who liven the. production with their pratfalls and tomfolery. Odom, who -plays Bellomy, father of Luisa, is past president of the Civic Players and a veteran of the Logansport stage. Harris, who plays Hucklebee, father of Matt, has appeared in several Civic Players musicals. Myers, another trooper in good standing, does an excellent job creating the character of Henry, an elderly thespian who.

remembers lines, but not the play to which they belong. Fox, who acts as Henry's assistant, Mortimer, is perfect as the man who dies on cue, complete with death spasms. and fatal twitch, then revives to watch the show. Sheila Cody does a good job as the mute, a living stage prop who interprets and narrates the production with her hands and body. Mrs.

Cody also served as choreographer for The Fantasticks, as she has done for seven Civic Players musicals. Mike Williams, vocal narrator and bandit, is a sporadic El Gallo, slipping in and out of character. Perhaps his trouble Thursday night was aided and abetted by an accident in rehearsal which left him with a severely sprained left ankle. As a result, Mrs. Cody had to take his place in the crucial Rape Ballet.

Also troubled by characterization were Linda Mitrovich, who played Luisa, and John Reed, who appeared as Matt. As the ill-starred lovers, whose fathers plot to make them fall in love, then spill the beans and make them fall out of love, both Miss Mitrovich and Reed seemed to have a case of opening night jitters, affecting both their involvement in their characters and their vocal talents. On the whole, however, it was an adequate production of one of off-Broadway's gems. Odom and Harris projected their characters particularly well during two musical sets based on their troubles with their offspring. The first, Never Say details the reverse psychology they used in bringing their children together; the second, Plant A Radish, compares the dependability of a garden, wherein a planted radish seed produces a radish, to the independability of children, and the fact that parents never know what they've planted the seed is nearly grown." Also effective Thursday were the Rape Ballet, in which bandits threaten to kidnap Luisa, and Matt slays them all to become a hero, and Round and Round, in which El Gallo takes Luisa.on a mental tour of Mike Williams, Jim Odom and Richard Harris appear in their roles as El Gallo, the girl's father and the boy's father in the current Logansport Civic Players production of The Fantasticks, the longest running off-Broadway musical in history.
