The ultimate toga party! Crafty Roman slaves, scantily clad courtesans and crazy knockabout comedy add up to one of the funniest musicals ever written!
“Panderers! Philanderers! Cupidity! Timidity!” A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum has them all! The Stratford Festival’s summertime sensation comes to the Toronto stage!
