A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Presented by Neglected Musicals in association with Hayes Theatre Co
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Originally Produced on Broadway by Harold S. Prince
Stephen Sondheim’s funniest musical.
Premiering on Broadway in 1962.
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a nonstop laughfest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity and a showgirl or two.
Featuring the songs A Comedy Tonight, Love I Hear and Everyone Ought to Have a Maid
