*The Fantasticks* is an enduring masterpiece by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. Thanks to its minimalist but imaginative staging with a few actors, intimate design, and smaller orchestra, the musical has been done all over the world. The play had a decades-long run off Broadway before being revived there as well, but for the first time this story of young love, separation, and reunion is making its way to Broadway.

Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli (*[Schmigadoon!](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/45429-schmigadoon-on-broadway), Newsies*) directs this revival, which features a revised book and lyrics by Jones himself. Performances begin in October 2026 as part of Second Stage's 48th annual season; the theatre is known for giving works a "second stage" to highlight previously successful productions.

“Second Stage Theater has always been the premiere home for contemporary works by both emerging writers and established masters, and this upcoming season is no exception," said Second Stage Artistic Director Evan Cabnet in a statement.

## What to watch for
- Second Stage's season also features the Pulitzer finalist *[Gloria](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/47144-gloria)* by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.
- Tom Jones (revised book and lyrics) and Harvey Schmidt (music) met at the University of Texas at Austin and later wrote *The Fantasticks* for a summer theatre production at Barnard College.
- The musical is loosely based on the 1894 play *Les Romanesques* by Edmond Rostand.
- Songs from the show include "Try to Remember," "Soon It's Gonna Rain," and "They Were You."

See the long-awaited Broadway bow of this musical masterpiece. The world's longest-running musical thanks to its 42-year run off Broadway, *The Fantasticks* features beloved songs like "Try to Remember," "Soon It's Gonna Rain," "Much More," "Metaphor," and "They Were You." Directed by Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli (*[Schmigadoon!](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/45429-schmigadoon-on-broadway), Newsies*) in a new production, *The Fantasticks* on Broadway offers an update to the original story: instead of featuring two fathers, a son, and daughter, this revival features two mothers and their gay sons who fall in love despite the divisions between them.

Tom Jones (providing the revised book and lyrics) and Harvey Schmidt (the musical's composer) first met in college before going on to write this show that is loosely based on the 1894 play *Les Romanesques* by Edmond Rostand. It has played all over the world thanks to its simple conceit, staging, and orchestra, all of which uplift the charm of this musical jewel. 

In *The Fantasticks* the musical, two families are neighbors separated by a wall. The mothers in each household pretend to start a feud in order to, through reverse psychology, get their young sons to fall in love. What follows is a simple, sweet, and beautiful story of first love, separation, and happy reunion.

“Second Stage Theater has always been the premiere home for contemporary works by both emerging writers and established masters, and this upcoming season is no exception," said Second Stage Artistic Director Evan Cabnet in a statement. Second Stage produces the musical, truly making it a special revival with the updated take on the classic show. The musical begins performances in October 2026, staged at the Helen Hayes Theater in Midtown Manhattan.

The Hayes Theater officially opened as The Little Theatre on March 12, 1912. The building was designed by Harry Creighton Ingalls and built by Winthrop Ames, opening with John Galsworthy's play *The Pigeon*.

During the 1920s, the theatre was redesigned by Herbert J. Krapp to increase the capacity from 300 to 590. The New York Times purchased the building in 1931, converting it to a conference hall under the name of New York Times Hall.

In 1979, Martin Markinson and Donald Tick bought the theatre and renamed it in 1983 to the Helen Hayes Theatre to honor the actress. A previous theatre bearing her name was demolished in 1982 to make way for the Marriott Marquis Hotel.

On April 18, 2015, it was officially announced that Second Stage Theater had purchased the property. It was later revealed that the venue would be renamed the Hayes Theater, and it opened in spring 2018. The Hayes Theater is the smallest Broadway theatre, now with 597 seats.

Once upon

In *Once Upon a Mattress*, a sinister queen has plans, or lack thereof, for her son's marriage: keep him single as no one else is worthy. Enter Princess Winnifred, Fred for short, and from the swamp, no less. The queen ruthlessly rules over the faraway land and declares that none can marry until her son weds. Challenge accepted: the queen puts Princess Winnifred through multiple tests, and the not-so-refined Fred champions each with her verve, wit, and enough volume to wake up the whole kingdom.

A raucous and hilarious comedy that’s also an update on a Hans Christian Andersen tale, *Once Upon a Mattress* features an indelible score from Mary Rogers and Marshall Barer with crowd-pleasing show tunes including "Sensitivity," "In a Little While," and "Shy." The musical first debuted on Broadway in 1959 and has enjoyed countless productions; now, after decades, it returns to Broadway with its own royal treatment: Broadway queen Sutton Foster as Princess Fred.

## What to watch for

- TV icon Amy Sherman-Palladino, who created *Gilmore Girls* and *The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel*, adapts this time-tested story to give it fresh life.
- Sutton Foster is one of Broadway's most famous leading ladies and, as in *Once Upon a Mattress*, she has a long history of playing strong female characters who feel no need to be demure as they pursue what they want most: love, success, and honor. Such previous roles include Fiona in *Shrek*, Reno in *Anything Goes*, and the title role in *Thoroughly Modern Millie*.
- Michael Urie is having a bang-up year on Broadway after finishing his run in another starry revival, *Spamalot*. Now, he returns to another musical comedy with *Once Upon a Mattress*.
- Director Lear deBessonet is also the artistic director of New York City Centers, which stages concert versions of favorite and sometimes forgotten musicals. Previously, she directed *Into the Woods* on Broadway, so she is no strange to remounting classic works.
