Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, A

June 30–July 11, Main Stage

By Shevelove, Burt and Larry Gelbart, Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Stone, Jessica

The Romans are coming! With a nod and a wink to Plautus, director Jessica Stone helms an all-male troop of actors into the comic fray with this fresh, "old" take on American master and Pulitzer Prize winner, Stephen Sondheim's raucous musical classic. With Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald leading the charge as Pseudolus, a slave who must win his freedom by playing matchmaker for his master, this toe-tapping, zany romp through ancient Rome is a paean to the Gods of Comedy.
