Description
THE FANTASTICKS is a magical journey, part fairy tale, part fable and entirely enchanting. With book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt, it features such memorable songs as “Try to Remember” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” and has the distinction of being the longest-running musical in the history of theater. To understand that extraordinary longevity is to recognize the essence of what makes us human, the elemental forces of love, family, friendship, and adversity. The Fantasticks will, as it has done for over 60 years, transport you to that special place in your memory. “…That spot beside the clover where someone’s hand held your hand and love was sweeter than the berries.” Try to remember….and then try not to smile.
