Brighton Little Theatre
16th to 19th December 2008.
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
The first musical to have both music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is one of the funniest musicals ever written, and one of the few modern musicals to really be true to its description as a musical comedy!
Very loosely adapted by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart from the plays by the Ancient Roman playwright, Plautus, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum has no moral, no sting in the tail, no villian and no tragedy. Instead, it is full of glorious tunes, silliness, daft one liners, cross-dressing, mistaken identity, children stolen by pirates, courtesans, slaves, actors, silly old men, silly young men and one wily slave running the whole show. And, as Pseudolus the slave says, "it all takes place on a street in Rome, round and about three houses...".
Fast, furious and hilarious - the perfect treat for the run-up to Christmas for all the family.
Performances start at 7.45pm
