A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

“Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!” Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written – the perfect escape from life’s troubles. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan for his young master, in exchange for freedom. With its unforgettable zany characters, a hysterical, perfectly constructed book by Larry Gelbart and Burt Shevelove, and witty Stephen Sondheim songs, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum allows a brilliant ensemble of comedic actors to shine.
