KENNER, La (press release) – Broadway’s greatest farce is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. ‘Forum’ takes comedy back to its roots, combining situations from time-tested, 2000-year-old comedies with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville.
Directed by and starring Ricky Graham & Gary Rucker
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a nonstop laughfest in which Pseudolus, a crafty slave, struggles to win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan named Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. The plot twists and turns with cases of mistaken identity, slamming doors and a showgirl or two.
The show runs Jan. 13-29 and tickets can be found here.
