About

The Fantasticks, the world's longest-running musical, is a captivating and simple romantic comedy about a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall.  The audience uses its imagination to follow El Gallo as he creates a world of moonlight and magic, and then pain and disillusionment, until the boy and girl find their way back to one other.  The score, which includes "Try To Remember", "They Were You" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain", is as timeless as the story itself.  Having played a record-breaking 17,162 performances in its original run at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in Greenwich Village,  and recently celebrated its 20,000th performance at the Snapple Theater Center, The Fantasticks is a true New York institution which The Wall Street Journal calls "THE PERFECT MUSICAL".

    We were pleasantly surprised with this play. Some very funny moments that had us in stitches...especially Henry and Mortimer. Too funny! A sit back, feel good play!

    Simple Is Better!

    This is not my first time seeing the Fantasticks. I have seen it more than once at the original venue in Greenwich Village. I was glad to see the show was not "modernized". If I want 3d laser light shows, pyrotechnics, or to see Spiderman climbing on walls I'll go to Universal Studios.

    Fantasticks super entertaining.

    by Sophisticut on 11/16/10Snapple Theater - New York

    Every actor was was excellent. The young men were easy on the eyes and the older men were easy on the laughter joints. The girl was endearing. A very entertaining show!!!!

    Was surprisingly good!

    by WWS2 on 11/14/10Snapple Theater - New York

    Did not expect much, but was surprised. Snapple Theater was small and intimate-about 100 seats, the stage was small and the set simple, actors and 1 actress unknowns, but we had a great time and would certainly recommend The Fantasticks to anyone look for a light hearted comedy musical.

    A Brand New Experience

    by Anonymous on 11/12/10Snapple Theater - New York

    My wife and I have been attending Broadway shows for many years, but " The Fantasticks" was a very special exxperience for us. . The intimate setting of the theater allowed us to participate in the action of the show on a wonderfully personal level. It was like we had known these people forever, and they were performing just for us. The cast was a balanced mixture of up-and -coming young performers working with seasoned veterans.

    An age old story presented with a different slant. Very creatively done in an intimate setting.

    The play was timeless, funny and touching. We all remember our first loves, the trials and tribulations and the loss of innocence when we face reality vs our dream. The cast was excellent, especially the Wall! Despite the minimal staging, the cast captured our imaginations and made us see all the action , scenery and locations. Every member of the cast was very talented. I especially enjoyed the playfulness of the cast and the lovely voices of El Gallo and Louisa.

    Fantasticks was better than fantastick

    by luckynickel on 11/5/10Snapple Theater - New York

    I love seeing "Off Broadway" shows because of the intimacy of the theatre.This one has won me over. I've never seen the Fantasticks before, but the actors were absolutely perfect in their roles and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing them. , The energy incredible, even with the small house attendance on an off day. I loved that my 9 year old who snubbed her nose at the idea of a small venue can't stop talking about the production and has developed a new passion for "Off Broadway". Although there are soooo many I need to see, I will be back to see it again and bring friends!!!!

    Great for Whole Family

    We took my mother for her 80th Birthday. Three generations attended -- including my 5-year-old son, and EVERYONE enjoyed the show. It's funny, has great music -- and a great message. THE PERFECT SHOW!
