A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM To Play Sutter Street Theatre

Sondheim’s joyous, musical romp through Rome has desperate lovers, scheming neighbors and secrets behind every toga. 

Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright, Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a nonstop 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.

The show is directed by Kenny Brian Gagni, musical direction by Hannah Hurst and choreography by Jeannie Larson.

Performances will take place May 30-June 28th at the Sutter Street Theatre located at 717 Sutter Street. Folsom, CA. Friday and Saturday performances starting at 7:30pm and Sundays at 4:30pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Sutter Street Theatre website.  Content Warning: Mild Adult Themes
