A Funny Thing Happened
on the Way to the Forum
Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart
M usic and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

The hit Broadway musical

The bright lights of Broadway meet
Ancient Rome in the fastest, funniest
musical in the whole of the Empire!

A crafty slave attempts to win freedom by helping his master woo the pretty girl next door. But the road to love is never smooth, as our sneaky hero dodges a riotous succession of stunning surprises and cunning disguises.

Plotting, passions and potions – all in the pursuit of love and freedom!

With show-stopping songs such as Comedy Tonight by the legendary Stephen Sondheim mixed with naughty-but-nice British humour in the Carry On Up Pompei tradition, this BROADWAY ROMAN ROMP is PERFECT ESCAPISM.

Guaranteed fun and frolics for the whole family!

Directed by Bob Carlton (creator of the Olivier Award-winning musical Return to the Forbidden Planet) and starring a LARGE CAST from the Queen’s professional group of actor-musicians cut to the chase...
