WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A new production of The Fantasticks, the world's longest running musical, comes to New York! This beloved musical love story features music by Harvey Schmidt and book and lyrics by Tom Jones. Jones also directs. The show features Julie Craig (Luisa), Thomas Bruce ("Henry"), John Deyle ("Hucklebee"), American Idol star Anthony Fedorov ("Matt"), Burke Moses ("El Gallo"), Robert R. Oliver ("Mortimer") and Martin Vidnovic as ("Bellomy").
The musical tells the story of a young boy and girl who fall madly in love at the hands of their meddling fathers, but soon grow restless and stray from one another. Will their separation provide a deeper appreciation for the love they once shared or create a permanent gulf between them? The Fantasticks is the quintessential celebration of love, in all its gorgeous simplicity and heartbreaking complexities, and features such classic tunes as "Try To Remember," "Much More," and "I Can See It."
*Listed prices include a $1 theater facility fee.
