 Description:

THE FANTASTICKS tells the story of a young boy and girl who fall 

madly in love at the hands of their meddling fathers, but soon grow restless and stray from one

 another.  Will their separation provide a deeper appreciation for the love they once shared or create a

 permanent gulf between them?  THE FANTASTICKS is the quintessential celebration of love, in 

all its gorgeous simplicity and heartbreaking complexities, and features such classic

 tunes as “Try To Remember,” “Much More,” and “I Can See It.”
