The longest-running musical in the world and the longest-running stage production of any kind in American theatre history finally comes to the big screen. THE FANTASTICKS follows the scheming of two neighboring fathers who attempt to spark a romance between their children by faking a feud. When a mysterious carnival of illusions rolls into town, the fathers enlist the aid of its enigmatic impressio, El Gallo, only to add an unexpected tangle to their matchmaking web. This bewitching musical comedy re-introduces such classic songs as "Try to Remember" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain."
