A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Pamela Hunt
1992-1993 Mainstage Season
The Story
Side-splitting comedy set to Stephen Sondheim’s great music and unforgettable lyrics. The roguish Roman slave Pseudolus leads deliciously unsavory characters, a befuddled father with a srewish wife, neighbors, strangers and the Roman army into rollicking shenanigans. A musical favorite for the entire family.
