Description

We cover the longest running musical of all time, Off-Broadway's The Fantasticks, with music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones, loosely based on the play Les Romanesques by Edmond Rostand (of Cyrano de Bergerac).

Jeremy also shares his theory about the "Broadway genre" of music.
