Mad Cow Theatre announces A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, playing June 3 through July 10, 2011 in it's intimate Stage Left, continuing their 80th Birthday tribute to the great Stephen Sondheim.
In its first staging of a book musical, the Jungle takes humor back to its roots, combining the time-tested 2,000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville for an all-new production of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM.
With a solidly funny book by Larry Gelbart and Bert Shevelove and a clever, under-appreciated score by Stephen Sondheim (It remains Broadway's only Best Musical Tony-winner with eligible music and lyrics that were not even nominated for Best Score.), A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is one of the more dependable titles of musical theatre's standard repertoire.
