TIX (849) "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written – the perfect escape from life's troubles. “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum” takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2,000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted virgin courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for his freedom.
