The Men of The Fantasticks Talk Bringing a Beloved Musical to Broadway!

After more than six decades of enchanting audiences around the world, The Fantasticks is finally making its Broadway debut — and this time, the beloved musical is telling a new kind of love story! Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Christopher Gattelli, music supervisor and orchestrator Sam Davis, and the extraordinary men of the Broadway company join Adrienne for a special conversation about bringing this iconic musical to a new generation. Featuring Maxim Chlumecky, Nathan Levy, Zane Phillips, Kevin Del Aguila, David Patrick Kelly, and Ahmad Simmons, the production reimagines the classic story of young love through the relationship of two young men, Matt and Lewis. The company talks about honoring the legacy of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, the excitement and responsibility of introducing this new interpretation, the timeless music, and what it means to tell a story about love and acceptance on Broadway today. From the creative vision behind the production to the music, the characters, and the magic of live theater, it's a celebration of everything that makes The Fantasticks so special. The Fantasticks begins previews October 22, 2026, at Broadway's Hayes Theater, with an official opening on November 16, 2026. Watch the full conversation on The Roundtable with Robert Bannon!
