"Try to Remember" a time when this charming show wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. The 1960 musical is a funny and romantic musical telling of a fable about a boy, a girl, and their two parents who try to keep them apart. The musical's off-Broadway production ran for 42 years with over 17,000 performances. This makes The Fantasticks the world's longest-running musical.

Preceding The Fantasticks in Concert, the 2021 "Rep Outdoors" Series included two unique, immersive outdoor theatrical experiences. Marie & Rosetta was a play with music celebrating the life and music of Arkansas' own Sister Rosetta Tharpe, presented on the grounds of War Memorial Park. Primating was the world premiere of a "wild" romantic comedy, presented inside the Little Rock Zoo. The Fantasticks in Concert will conclude the 2021 "Rep Outdoors" Series and marks the theatre's return to live theatre following 15 months of no in-person activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
