Meet the Cast
After the great success of Nunsense, we had to do another musical quick! Here it is!- an exuberant bawdy, funny musical, by the most successful compose-lyricist of the last 40 years, Stephen Sondheim. It is Sondheim with his tunes at their catchiest and his lyrics at their wittiest before excess artiness came on the scene. Loosely based on plays by the Roman comedy playwrights Plautus and Terence the plot is funny nonsense set in the Rome of 200 BC. Two young lovers, a crafty slave seeking his freedom; a bombastic general; a lecherous father of one of the lovers and his henpecking wife and courtesans aplenty, all make for a hilarious group of performers. As the show says---Tragedy tomorrow---Comedy tonight.
