A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

Streaming video - 1966

Starring Zero Mostel, Phil Silvers, Jack Gifford, Buster Keaton and Michael Crawford, this wild Stephen Sondheim musical is a “flip, glib and sophisticated, yet rump-slappingly bawdy and fast-paced look at the seamy underside of classical Rome through hipster’s shades” (Variety). When a wily Roman slave helps his master’s son win over the girl-next-door in exchange for his freedom, the road to romance is filled with clever tunes, surprises, cunning disguises, and the wildest chariot race ever!
