Listen Later

Next week, Scott and Mackenzie will be donning their togas alongside special guest Ryan Borochovitz, Co-Artistic Producer of Cup of Hemlock Theatre, as they delve into the world of Stephen Sondheim's musical comedy A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The trio will take a deep dive into the ancient Roman plays of playwright Plautus and examine how his works influenced Sondheim, Shevelove, and Gelbart. They’ll also explore the profound impact of lead actor Zero Mostel’s portrayal of Pseudolus had on the shaping of the musical. Plus, Ryan will share his controversial perspective on why Forum is his favourite Sondheim musical.


All of this and tragedy tomorrow and comedy on next Friday's all new episode!
