The Fantasticks

(2013-2014 Season)

October 20 – November 10, 2013 • Tornabene Theatre

Arizona Repertory Theatre

ABOUT THE SHOW

Based on Edmond Rostand’s 1894 play, Les Romanesques, The Fantasticks, the world’s longest-running Tony Award-winning musical, is a captivating and simple romantic comedy about a boy named Matt, a girl named Luisa, two parents and a wall. The audience uses its imagination to follow the mischievously charming narrator, 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 each other. The score, which includes Try to Remember, They Were You, and Soon It’s Gonna Rain, is as timeless as the story itself.
