| A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials were supplied by Music Theatre International. Synopsis from MTI |
"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.
