Auditions for A Funny thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Stephen Sondheim's classic Tony Award-winning Best Musical is fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest Broadway shows ever written! A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum is a nonstop laugh-fest 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, slamming doors and a bevy of beautiful showgirls. This unforgettable, hysterical musical comedy will have you laughing all the way to the Forum with "something for everyone, a comedy tonight!"
PSEUDOLUS: A2 - High G Baritone, A Roman slave, owned by Hero, seeking to win freedom by helping Hero win the heart of Philia. Must have an impeccable comic sense.
HERO: A2 - F#4 Tenor, Senex's son, the handsome, innocent master, in love with Philia.
PHILIA: A3 - G5 Soprano, Hero's love interest. An ingenue who doesn't know how funny she really is.
HYSTERIUM: A2 - G4 Tenor, Nervous and hapless slave of Senex & Domina and unwitting accomplice in Psuedolus' schemes.
SENEX: B flat-G flat Baritone, A henpecked, sardonic Roman Senator with a wandering eye. Hero's father and the aging master of the house.
MARCUS LYCUS: A2 - F4 Baritone, A purveyor of courtesans, who operates next door to the house of Senex
DOMINA: A3 - F#5 Mezzo-Soprano, Wife of Senex. A manipulative, shrewish woman loathed by even her husband.
ERRONIUS: A2 - F4 Baritone, Senex's elderly neighbor, a sometimes befuddled old man. He's spent the past twenty years searching for his two children, kidnapped in infancy by pirates.
MILES GLORIOSUS: A2 - F4 Bass Baritone, A captain in the Roman army to whom Marcus Lycus has promised Philia. A braggart of the highest order, he is, in his own words, his "own ideal."
THE COURTESANS (6 women) Slaves in the House of Sennex. Funny and sexy!
THE PROTEANS (3 males): Choristers who play multiple roles (slaves, citizens, soldiers and eunuchs).
