A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Show Description:

Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written.

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" takes comedy back to its roots. It combines situations from time-tested, 2,000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.

"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is a nonstop laughfest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity.
