A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
July 22-August 1, 2010 : Millbrook Playhouse
Shows run various days July 22-August 1. "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written-the perfect escape from life's troubles. "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 result is a non-stop laugh-fest in which a crafty slave (Pseudolus) struggles to win the hand of a beautiful but slow-witted courtesan (Philia) for his young master (Hero), in exchange for freedom.

Baltin, a high society figure who has captured the baron's heart. Her jealous husband and a Baker like actress headlining at the Follies Bergere round out the cast of this door slamming farce with wonderful songs and dancing.
