A Romantic Musical The Fantasticks 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 Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two fathers who try to keep them apart. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart, and finally find meaningful love punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy and memorable classic songs. Rated PG
