A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum — with a score by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart — won six Tony Awards when it debuted on Broadway in 1962 under the direction of George Abbott. Produced by Hal Prince, Forum ran for 964 performances. The original Broadway production starred Zero Mostel, who repeated his work for the 1966 film version. Forum has enjoyed two Broadway revivals: one with Phil Silvers and the other with Nathan Lane as Pseudolus.

Songs from the production include "Comedy Tonight," "Love, I Hear," "That Dirty Old Man," "Free," "Lovely," "That'll Show Him," "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" and "I'm Calm."

Reprise Theatre Company is headed by artistic director Jason Alexander and producing director Susan Dietz.

Single tickets are available for Forum online at www.reprise.org or through the UCLA Central Ticket Office at (310) 825-2101. The Freud Playhouse at UCLA is located in Macgowan Hall.
