   The Story  

Based on "Les Romanesques" by Edmond Rostand. The Fantastics is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. The Fantastics features two meddling, matchmaking fathers who scheme to get their children together. But once the couple is united, the real drama begins. Featuring the beloved songs "Try To Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain" this is a celbration of love - first love, lost love, and ultimately, true love. Written by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, The Fantastics has delighted audiences across the world - including a shattering 17,162 performances at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, where it made its Off-Broadway debut in 1960. Whether it's an old favorite or your first time, you won't want to miss this timeless show that's certain to steal you heart.
