The Fantasticks tells the story of a young boy and girl who fall madly in love at the hands of their meddling fathers, but soon grow restless and stray from one another.

Brian Kimmel, Company J at the MJCCA Producing Artistic Director explains, “I saw The Fantasticks when I was 19, and have been haunted by its simple beauty and bold theatricality ever since. I cannot imagine a more appropriate beginning to Company J’s second season.”

The Fantasticks is the start of the season that includes Fiddler on The Roof, Seussical, The Musical and Legally Blonde.
