The Fantasticks

Book & Lyrics: Tom Jones
Music: Harvey Schmidt


Synopsis: The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, two fathers (mothers in our production) and a wall. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart, and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo's words that "without a hurt, the heart is hollow".
