A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to The Forum, the Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim?, book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, opened February 18 in the Rupel J. Jones Theatre at the University of Oklahoma and continues through February 27.

James Brennan (Good News, I Love My Wife, 42nd Street, Me and My Girl, Crazy For You) directed Broadway's fast-paced, witty, irreverent, flip, glib, sophisticated, knee-slapping, bawdy musical farce - "something for everyone a comedy tonight!" Additional members of the creative team for the Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre include Paul Christman (music director), Parish Mechling (choreographer) and Andreas Levisianos (conductor).

The cast features Skyler Adams (Hero), Nicole Arnone (Panacea), Joel Behne (Marcus Lycus), Jacob Chancellor (Protean), Alicia Clark (Vibrata), Carl Culley (Hysterium), Kate Dinsmore (Domina), Dan Horn (Protean), Eloise Kropp (Geminea), Emily Luhrs (Philia), Sophie Menas (Tintinabula), Jamard Richardson (Protean), P.J. Sook (Miles Gloriosus), Ethan Spell (Erronius), Chelsea Umberham (Gymnasia), Alie Walsh (Geminae), Curry Whitmire (Senex) and Ryan Wood (Pseudolus).

The Weitzenhoffer School of Musical Theatre is named for Tony Award winner A. Max Weitzenhoffer, a leading independent theatrical producer for over 30 years on Broadway and the West End. Weitzenhoffer's gift to the School of over $5 million - the largest individual endowment of any musical theatre program in the country - puts the School at the forefront of musical theatre training in America. The unique degree program offers a select group of talented students musical theatre training in a conservatory atmosphere along side a dynamic and exciting liberal arts university.
