Cast Creative Edit

Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent, and one of the funniest musicals ever written – guaranteed to have audiences rolling on the floor.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining the ancient comedies of Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.

This multiple Tony Award winner is a non-stop 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 hair-brained schemes, mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two. This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine – “something for everyone, a Comedy Tonight!”
