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. Forum features
unforgettable zany characters, a hysterical, perfectly constructed book by Larry Gelbart (of MASH and City Of Angels fame)
and Burt Shevelove, and witty Stephen Sondheim songs that are both catchy and timeless. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest
in which a crafty slave, Pseudolus, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan, Philia, for his
young master in exchange for freedom.
Show Dates: February 18 - 27, 2005
