A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum 1984 (Musical)

Synopsis

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.
