"Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight!"
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is Broadway's greatest farce. It's fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. Situations from the time-tested, 2000 year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus are combined with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of the beautiful but slow-witted courtesan, Philia, for his young master in exchange for his freedom..
