A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

8th to 23rd April, 2016
The Arcadians' Miner's Lamp Theatre

Broadway’s 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’ is a non-stop laugh-fest 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!”
