The Fantasticks, Tony award winning musical, comes back to Valley audiences at Ice House

The Fantasticks is a funny and romantic musical about a boy, a girl, and their two parents who try to keep them apart. The narrator, El Gallo, asks the audience to use their imagination and follow him into a world of moonlight and magic. The boy and the girl fall in love, grow apart and finally find their way back to each other after realizing the truth in El Gallo’s words that, “without a hurt, the heart is hollow.”

“ The thing that makes The Fantasticks special is the way it acts as a love letter to so many facets of life. The show is a love letter to the way that bitter and sweet moments in our lives contribute to each other, giving those moments meaning via contrast. The show is also special because the music is gorgeous. The score is full of beauty and life and wit and heart.”

-Antony Lotenero, Director
