The Fantasticks

Book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt

Directed by Ron Brown

The Fantasticks is a classic musical allegory about young lovers, Matt and Luisa, whose feuding fathers trick them into falling in love, only for the couple to grow apart before finding their way back to each other with a more mature understanding of love. It is famous for its simple staging, memorable songs like "Try to Remember," and its record-breaking 42-year run Off-Broadway, making it the longest-running musical in history
