A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Mad Cow Theatre Stage Left 6/3/2011 - 7/10/2011 (schedule)

Producer: Mad Cow Theatre

Category: Musical · Comedy · Professional

"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written - the perfect escape from life's troubles.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan for his young master, in exchange for freedom.

Total performances: 25
