The romantic, funny "boy meets girl" tale, with book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt, The Fantasticks is a captivating and simple love story about a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall.
The audience uses its imagination to follow El Gallo as he creates a world of moonlight and magic, and then pain and disillusionment, until the boy and girl find their way back to one other. The score, which includes "Try To Remember," "They Were You" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain," is as timeless as the story itself.
