A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

cincy_dave as Senex
Brian (cincycub), Rob (mickeymac) and I went to see a local production of A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum last night. It stars cincy_dave as the comically whipped Senex. When young Roman Hero falls in love with a promised (bought & paid for) virgin courtesan Phila, his family slave Pseudolus comes up with a cunning (and constantly evolving) plan to get the two together and win his freedom in the process.

The show is full of great singing and wonderfully funny slapstick. I enjoyed watching Dave run around laughing and screaming as Hero's father last night on stage. Sitting in the front row with the guys, I looked up so many short togas last night and saw lots of white underwear. The guys really need to keep their knees together (or not, depending on the actor). Not necessarily part of the show, but just a humorous observation.

The show runs through March 8th. Click the link above for ticket information and showtimes.
