The Fantasticks

Books & Lyrics by Tom Jones, Music by Harvey Schmidt

Director - Lauren Rotante

Music Director - Kaylee Williams

January 30 - February 22, 2026

Rehearsals will begin Wednesday, December 3

The Fantasticks is a funny and whimsical musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. A moving tale of young lovers who seek the world of adventure, is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become classics. The narrator, El Gallo, sings “Try to Remember…” and asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic.

The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world: its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication carries a purity and simplicity that transcends barriers. The result is a timeless fable that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.
