What happens

The Fantasticks is a 1995 American romantic comedy musical film film not released until 2000, directed by filmmaker Michael Ritchie. It was last Ritchie film to be released before his death the following year). The screenplay by writers Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones is based on their record-breaking production of the musical The Fantasticks, which ran for 17,162 performances (and which was subsequently revived Off-Broadway). Though it was made in 1995, the film did not see a proper (though very limited) release until 2000 in an thoroughly edited form. The film received mixed reviews from critics.
