"A classic coming-of-age story, The Fantasticks features two meddling matchmaking fathers who scheme to get their children together. But once the couple is united, the real drama begins! Featuring the beloved songs "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain," this is a celebration of love- first love, lost love and ultimately, true love. Written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, The Fantasticks has delighted audiences across the world- including a record shattering 17,162 performances at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, where it made its Off-Broadway debut in 1960, starring Jerry Orbach (Law and Order, Beauty and the Beast). Whether it's an old favorite or your first time, you won't want to miss this timeless show that's certain to steal your heart."
