A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

By Burt Shevelove, Larry Gelbart and Stephen Sondheim.

A slave named Pseudolus attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.

Which is the start point for a classic musical farce that ran for hundreds of performances on Broadway, and inspired the Frankie Howard TV vehicle Up Pompeii!

The show has many great songs - including "A Comedy Tonight" - which it certainly is!
