The Fantasticks, the world's longest-running musical, is a captivating and simple romantic comedy about a boy, a girl, two fathers and a wall. The audience uses its imagination to follow the narrator, El Gallo, as he creates a world of moonlight and magic, and then pain and disillusionment, until the boy and girl find their way back to one other. The score, which includes "Try To Remember," "They Were You" and "Soon It's Gonna Rain," is as timeless as the story itself.

What do you think of the term “showtune” to describe songs from musical theatre? 9 comments
ItÂ’s an inappropriate and derogatory term.
ItÂ’s a little too casual.
It applies well to some theatre songs but not for others.
It's perfectly fine.
ItÂ’s so derogatory that weÂ’re taking back the word and reclaiming it! Those who love musicals can freely refer to them as showtunes, but those who donÂ’t know Jerry Herman from Stephen Sondheim better not!
