"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 (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom. Meanwhile, Pseudolus has to outsmart Hero's parents (Domina and Senex), the slave-master (Lycus), and the general (Miles Gloriosus) who has already paid for Philia. Also, an old man (Erronious) is desperately searching for his lost children.

With its unforgettable zany characters, a hysterical, perfectly constructed book by Larry 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.
