The Fantasticks

The Fantasticks

The Fantasticks is the longest-running show in the history of the American theater. It opened at the Sullivan Street Playhouse (New York City) in the spring of 1960, where it remained until the production finally closed in early 2002 (a run of 42 years). It has some of the best poetic lyrics ever written for musical theater.

It is written by Tom Jones (not the Welsh singer) and Harvey Schmidt.
