"A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theater on May 8, 1962 with Zero Mostel as Pseudolus and directed by George Abbott. Both men won Tony Awards for Best Actor in a Musical and Best Director of a Musical respectively. Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbhart won the Tony Award as Best Authors of a Musical Play. "Forum" was the first musical featuring both music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The play ran for a total of 964 performances over two years. Pseudolus is a slave who will practically do anything to gain his freedom. That opportunity arises when he is left in charge of his owner's young son, Hero. The young man has fallen madly in love with Philia, a lovely courtesan, and promises Pseudolus his freedom if he can arrange a marriage before the young man's father returns. The wily slave agrees of course, but even he can't imagine the tangled web he is about to weave. |
