Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight! This joyous, musical romp through Rome has desperate lovers, scheming neighbors, and secrets behind every toga. A Funny Thing is considered to be one of the best musicals ever written for the Broadway stage. Funny, fast-paced, witty, irreverent, it takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from the time-tested humor of Roman playwrights with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. 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 mistaken identity, slamming doors, and a showgirl or two. This unforgettable musical features music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. Something for everyone! Thursday - Saturday 8:00 p.m. Sunday 5:30 p.m.
