    		Senior Moments says:

    NEW YORK (AP) - The last sliver of a silver moon was hung, the final handful of confetti was thrown and the fabled white curtain on which the words The Fantasticks were printed in big purple letters was slowly lowered.
    With performance number 17,162, the world's longest-running musical ended its record-breaking, nearly 42-year run Sunday to cheers, whistles and more than a few bravos. - www.usatoday.com/life/theater/2002/2002-01-14-fantasticks.htm
