Where were you on May 3, 1960? If you were in Greenwich Village at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, you witnessed off-Broadway history. And who would ever guess that a simple little musical could run for over 40 years? Well, that’s exactly what has happened with The Fantasticks, a timeless story about a Boy and a Girl who grow up separated by a wall that their feuding fathers have built to keep them apart. Naturally, it makes them fall wildly in love with each other. Once they discover that their fathers actually planned the whole thing to get them together, their romance suffers a series of whimsical and melodramatic complications. In the end, as the lovers mature, love conquers all. Classic tunes like “Try to Remember” and “Soon It’s Gonna Rain” will make you love The Fantasticks all over again!
