About "The Fantasticks"

Two teenagers on neighboring farms steal glances and hide their romance from their feuding fathers.  Little do these love-birds know, however, is that their fathers are actually good friends who've hatched a plan - with the help of a mystical roving side-show and its equally mysterious ring master - to get these two lovers down the aisle.  But, be careful what you wish for.  In order to bring these families together .... they must first be torn apart!

The Fantasticks premiered at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, a small off-Broadway theater, on May 3, 1960, with Jerry Orbach as El Gallo, Rita Gardner as Luisa, Kenneth Nelson as Matt, and librettist Tom Jones (under a pseudonym) as the Old Actor, among the cast members. The original off-Broadway production closed on January 13, 2002 after a record-shattering 17,162 performances. It is the world's longest-running musical and the longest-running uninterrupted show of any kind in the United States [2]. Notable actors who appeared in the off-Broadway and touring production throughout its long run included Liza Minnelli, F. Murray Abraham, Glenn Close, Keith Charles, Kristin Chenoweth, Bert Convy, Eileen Fulton, Lore Noto (the show's long-time producer), Dick Latessa, and Martin Vidnovic.
