The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic.
Running Time: 2 hours 5 minutes with 15 intermission. For Ages 12 and older.
