At 50 years of age, The Fantasticks has rightly earned its status as the world's longest running musical. Much of its charm stems from its simplicity. It is a comedy both lighthearted and melancholy.
The opening song is a call to nostalgia. It beckons the audience to "try to remember, that kind of September when life was slow and oh, so mellow". The story focuses on a forbidden love and the complications that reality brings.
Far from a traditional and flashy Broadway musical, The Fantasticks is enchanting, endearing, magical, and touching, and has delighted playgoers of all ages for generations.
