 A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum | June 23 - July 11
Main StageBook by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart Vaudeville, comedy, and farce create a laugh riot in this Tony Award winner for Best Musical. In a quest to win his freedom, a crafty slave in ancient Rome strives to win the hand of a beautiful courtesan for his master. Mistaken identities, wild chases, bawdy humor, and zany characters add up to outlandish spectacle and irreverent hilarity. And Sondheim’s music lifts it all into the sublime. Sponsor: Co-Sponsors: Director Sponsors: “A ribald and rousing romp through ancient Rome ... A funny thing has indeed happened on the way to this production [which] has something for everyone.” The Philadelphia Inquirer “Fine comedic and musical performances from the entire cast. The atmosphere is giddy, with visual and linguistic gags tumbling about in dizzying succession ... Everyone is top notch…” The Reading Eagle "Fresh, classy entertainment." --The Morning Call "So fabulously funny that I can't imagine missing it." --Discover Lehigh Valley "The overall production was superb. Casting, orchestra, music, acting and, most of all, energy made this the real deal." --Discover Lehigh Valley “Carl N. Wallnau, is a perfect Senex. He is as hilarious in this role as he was two years ago as Malvolio in Twelfth Night.” --The Reading Eagle "Wallnau is a master of timing and restraint and he is so good that he can even get laughs when he just stands still." --The Morning Call |
