The Fantasticks by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones
A charming, timeless musical about young love, illusion, and growing up. Fantasticks is filled with wit, warmth, and unforgettable songs. Its simple storytelling opens into something surprisingly profound about what it means to really see the world (and each other). It’s the kind of show that feels like a memory you didn’t know you had.
THE FANTASTICKS

April 8 – 25, 2027
“Try to remember the kind of SeptemberWhen love was an ember about to billowTry to remember and if you remember ….Then follow.”
One of the great American musicals, The Fantasticks remains the longest running musical in American history. It is ‘the little show that could’, running Off-Broadway non-stop from 1960 to 2015. It tells the story of two families determined to get one’s daughter and the other’s son together. So determined are they, that they build a wall to keep them apart.
