"A Funny Thing Happened on
the way to the Forum" is simply one of the best musical comedies ever. This
Roman farce revolves around Pseudolus, a conniving slave, who plots his freedom by
assisting in the romantic endeavors of his master's sincere but dim hunk of a son.
It is full of outrageous gags, gorgeous girls, mistaken identities, stunning surprises,
cunning disguises and such keen witted Sondheim songs as "Comedy Tonight",
"Bring Me My Bride" and "Everbody Ought to Have a Maid".
