The Fantasticks: The Fantasticks Schmidt, Harvey

Public

Approved

The Fantasticks was originally created in 1960 with music by Harvey Schmidt with book and lyrics by Tom Jones. It tells an allegorical story, loosely based on the 1894 play The Romancers (Les Romanesques), concerning two neighboring parents who trick their children into falling in love by pretending to feud. The original production closed in 2002. In 2022, the revival was an LGBTQIA+ focused rewrite featuring two young gay men, Matt and Lewis, at the center of the story, instead of a young man and woman (the original characters were Matt and Luisa). It remains the longest running musical production worldwide.

The message of the Fantasticks remains unchanged while the characters embody a broader representation. Matt and Lewis lead the audience through a story that remains focused on the complexity of life – and while it is full of obstacles, it is possible for people to persevere and find their way.
