"The Fantasticks" is a funny and romantic musical set in a world of moonlight and magic featuring a famous score, which includes the timeless classics "Try To Remember," "They Were You" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain." "The Fantasticks" tells an allegorical story of two neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud.
