Listen up Lovebirds! You now have the chance to tie the knot on the stage of one of the most well known musicals in the world, The Fantasticks, the world's longest running musical, famous for its classic tale of true love, Cast members will be marrying couples of all faiths, races, & sexual orientations during the entire summer of 2014 (June 21 - September 5, 2014).

After numerous proposals at the show over the years, the show's producers have decided to go a step further and actually marry these couples at the show. The wedding will include a reception space after the show and a complimentary bottle of champagne.

A modern twist on Romeo and Juliet, The Fantasticks (music by Harvey Schmidt, book, lyrics, and direction by Tom Jones) is the quintessential story of a boy and girl who fall in love and then quickly grow apart when they realize they want to experience the world. What follows is a hilarious and heartwarming story appropriate for all ages. The score, which includes the hit songs "Try To Remember", "Soon It's Gonna Rain" and "They Were You", is as timeless as the story itself.

The production also features Tom Flagg, Rita Markova, and Scott Willis.
