Whimsy galore! Bittersweet, warm and fuzzy.

This new production touches the heart, tickles the funny bone, and sends you out of the theatre happy. It’s a real joy.

THE FANTASTICKS is a marvelously entertaining, fast-moving, wittily-written play by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. The current production at Ford’s Theatre is “fantastick” in every way.

THE FANTASTICKS has a lot going for it: a charming story, memorable songs, romance, deceit, adventure and laughter.

Ford’s Theatre has instilled new life into America’s longest-running musical and legitimate show, THE FANTASTICKS by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. [Ford’s] has reinvigorated one of our most popular and endearing musicals. A warm, charming, winsome, wonderfully melodic, and thoroughly humorous and entertaining production that will please every member of your family. If you have seen it before, don’t hesitate to see it now, because the magic is still there and the current production is crafted so well, you will get the feeling this is your first visit. The next time you doubt that new life can energize an old warhorse, just remember this production of THE FANTASTICKS.
