A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM

The Drama Group Studio Theatre
Chicago Heights, IL

Share this event:

Broadways 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.

The show is a nonstop laughfest 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.

This unforgettable, hysterical musical allows a terrific ensemble of comedic actors to shine something for everyone, a comedy tonight!
