Description
Inspired by the comedies of Plautus (251-183 B.C.E.) Sondheim’s fast-paced musical farce follows the adventures of Pseudolus, a crafty slave in the house of Senex, and his search for freedom—which he can only obtain by procuring the courtesan Philia for his young master, Hero. Through a series of hilarious episodes involving mistaken identity, chases, magic potions, long-lost siblings, and the Cretan plague, Forum is a hilarious rollercoaster ride filled with catchy tunes, bawdy lyrics, ensemble dance numbers, and, of course, a happy ending.
