With its sexist plot, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM is one of those shows that probably was a riot in 1962, but seems like something is lacking when presented a half century later - until the CT Repertory version running as part of the Nutmeg Summer Series. This one, thanks to some solid performances, is funny again.

Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) will present A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, starring Steven Hayes as the crafty slave Pseudolus, as the second of its three-show Summer Nutmeg Summer Series, June 20 - 30 in the Harriet S. Jorgensen Theatre, Storrs.
