A FUNNY THING...FORUM comes to Newtown April 11 to 17Newtown Arts Company’s production of this joyous, musical romp through Rome will leave audiences laughing at the historic Newtown Theatre, 120 N. State Street, Newtown PA 18940 for seven performances April 11through 17. This Tony-award winning comedy is sure to thrill audiences with its combination of slapstick humor and toe-tapping songs.
The musical’s original 1962 Broadway run won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical. FORUM has enjoyed several Broadway and West End revivals and was made into a successful film. Directed by James McCrane of Newtown and music director Susan den Outer of Langhorne, this show is produced by Natalie Taptykoff of Langhorne. Choreography is by Kristin Devine. Costume design is by Ann D'Silva.
Inspired by the farces of ancient Rome, the musical tells the bawdy story of a slave and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo the girl next door. The show is filled with puns, slamming doors, cases of mistaken identity (frequently involving characters disguising themselves as one another), and satirical comments on social class.
Pseudolus (Tim Costello) is the wily slave of Hero (Michael Hall), a young man who lives with his parents, Senex (Jeff Dworkin) and Domina (Christina Breeman). Pseudolus will do anything to be free, and sees his chance when Hero falls in love with the girl next door, Philia (Sally Graham). There`s just one problem: Philia is a courtesan already promised to Captain Miles Gloriosus (Bob Quintana). So Pseudolus makes a deal with his master: If Hero gets the girl, Pseudolus gains his freedom.
Performances are Thursday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, April 12, at 8 p.m.; Saturday, April 13, at 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 14, at 2 p.m. (matinee) Tuesday, April 16, and Wednesday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m. (There is no show on Monday, April 15.)
