You’ll see your favorite actors reveling in this beloved Broadway comedy that brims with zany characters , vaudeville farce, witty Stephen Sondheim songs, bathos and pathos—a perfect escape from life’s woes. "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" is the mantra of this laugh-fest set in ancient Rome, where the wily slave Pseudolus (a role immortalized by Zero Mostel) struggles to win the hand of the beautiful but slow-witted courtesan Philia for his young master, Hero, in exchange for freedom. Nothing can be that simple, of course, and with every tangle in the plot the laughs ratch up another notch.
