A classic in a new Broadway setting
The Fantasticks has a long stage history and is best known for songs including “Try to Remember.” This production brings its intimate story to Broadway while keeping the focus on two families, a young romance, and the theatrical device that brings them together. It is the first Broadway production of the musical, rather than another revival of a previous Broadway run.
The show is a romantic musical comedy. Check the official page for current age guidance, access information, and any performance-specific notices before attending.
