"Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone: a comedy tonight!" _Stephen Sondheim
Sondheim's joyous, musical romp through Rome has desperate lovers, scheming neighbors and secrets behind every toga.
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, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright, Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.
