Cast & creatives has been announced for the Lido 2 Paris revival of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM.

This will be very first time the musical has been performed in Paris, in its original version (surtitled in French).
Inspired by the farces of the ancient Roman playwright Plautus (254–184 BC), specifically Pseudolus, Miles Gloriosus, and Mostellaria, the musical tells the bawdy story of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door.
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM has music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, with a book by Burt Shevelove & Larry Gelbart.
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM will play the Lido 2 Paris, running from 1st December 2023 – 4th February 2024, with tickets on sale now.
Fabulous! ! !
