A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
January 9 - February 1
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a rollicking musical farce that transports audiences to ancient Rome, where the clever slave Pseudolus concocts a daring plan to secure his freedom by uniting his young master, Hero, with the beautiful courtesan Philia. This uproarious tale weaves together cases of mistaken identity, witty wordplay, and high-energy antics, ensuring an evening filled with laughter and delight. With a brilliant score by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, this timeless classic promises "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!”
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Forum is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI).
A fresh revival of Sondheim's zaniest musical farce... nothing short of a spectacle." - D.C. Arts
