pmOpera/Music Theatre Workshop: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum “Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!” Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, and irreverent -- and probably the funniest musical ever written. The winner of eight 1963 Tony awards, Forum has had the unprecedented honor of being revived on Broadway not once, but twice (1974 and 1996). The show takes comedy back to its roots, combining characters and situations from the time-tested, 2000 year old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. The result is a day in the life of Pseudolus – liar, blackmailer, slave – who struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan for his young master in exchange for freedom. |
