Opened in 1960, this long-running favorite has been revived countless times, but believe it or not, never on Broadway - until now! A classic coming-of-age story, The Fantasticks features two meddling, matchmaking fathers who scheme to get their children together. But once they do, the real drama begins! Famed for its iconic numbers, including "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain," this is a celebration of love in all its guises; 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 and became the quintessential Off-Broadway musical.

A true DELIGHT!
My family and I have been seeing musicals for more than 17
years but for whatever reason never saw The Fantasticks,
instead opting for new shows or the latest hot ticket.
Thankfully that has now been corrected in a most delightful
way. This intimate theatre and awesome cast presented this
timeless classic in memorable fashion. If you have never seen
this show, do it NOW. If you have seen it, see it again. We
will, despite having no problem "trying to remember" the joyful
fun we had! Thank you! ... Read more

Fantastic Fantasticks!
I would highly recommend this show! It is dramatic, passionate, hilariously funny and touches the heart and soul. I have seen it four times and will be seeing it a fifth time and each time it is as great as the previous. The current cast as well as the previous casts during the 2012-2013 season has been dynamic in how they engaged the audience and interacted with each other.
I was definitely pleased with my seats--I was in the center orchestra area and felt like I was a part of the show, that is how the cast made me feel! I would take my mother, children and anyone who would be interested in having a fun filled, laughter filled evening.
And yes I definitely found the theater very conveniently located to a wonderful restaurant--O'Lunney's Restaurant/Pub--delicious food. So an awesome show followed by awesome food or awesome food followed by an awesome show. Loved every moment of my experiences in seeing the Fantasticks. ... Read more
