A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Water Tower Theatre-July 17th 0August 17th

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart

“Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" A wily slave schemes, cajoles and manipulates all of ancient Rome to win his freedom in this uproarious musical farce by Stephen Sondheim. Hailed as one of the American musical theatre’s comedic masterpieces, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum combines a swaggering general, a dippy maiden, a doddering old man and a stable of sexy courtesans in a high-energy, high-jinx combination of vaudeville and burlesque.

The Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Musical!

JERSEY BOYS is the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.
