A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To The Forum

A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To The Forum is a fast-paced, witty and irreverent laugh-fest, in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan named Philia, for his young master, Hero, in exchange for his freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and a showgirl or two.

A review in The Wall Street Journal in 2017 said: “The musical about hanky-panky in ancient Rome remains the funniest ever written.”
