The Fantasticks - Music by Harvey Schmidt; Book and Lyrics by Tom Jones, Directed by Sands Hall
"Try to Remember" a time when The Fantasticks wasn't captivating audiences. A memorable score enlivens the heart of this passionate musical that charmed Off-Broadway for a record-breaking 42 years. A unique take on “boy meets the girl next door”, the story tells of Luisa and Matt, entering the bloom of their youth, as the world stands open to them, inviting them to explore. Their parents, scheming to encourage their children’s budding love by pretending to oppose it, build a wall between the teens, hiring the trickster El Gallo to thwart their romance. By moonlight, Matt and Luisa fall hard for each other. When finally the couple comes together in the light of day, they must decide between the comfort of illusion and the wisdom that only comes with experience. Can their romance survive the sunlight? Colorado Shakespeare Festival July 1 – August 8, 2010
