Photo Flash: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM at Cabrillo Music Theatre

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM makes its Civic Arts Plaza debut. The winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED... has enjoyed two successful Broadway revivals, and has showcased generations of comic actors from Zero Mostel and Phil Silvers to Nathan Lane and Whoopi Goldberg. Check out photos from the show below!

Cabrillo Music Theatre's brand-new production opened on Friday, January 29th, 2016 playing until Sunday, February 14th, at the 396-seat Scherr Forum at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, located at 2100 Thousand Oaks Boulevard in Thousand Oaks.

With a zany script by Larry Gelbart (creator of TV's "MASH" and the movie "Tootsie") and Burt Shevelove, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM follows Roman slave Pseudolus as he schemes his way to freedom in a journey filled with slapstick, farce, and mistaken identity - causing complications that involve blackmail, crazy disguises and long-lost children! Composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim elevates this Roman comedy with tunes that will tickle your funny bone such as "Comedy Tonight!," "Bring Me My Bride," "Lovely," "That Dirty Old Man," "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid," and more!

A who's who of Los Angeles theatre talent will form the cast of A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, starring Southern California Funny-Man, Nick Santa Maria as "Pseudolus." Joining Santa Maria is David Ruprecht, remembered fondly as the host of television's "Supermarket Sweep" and countless television commercials and guest appearances, as "Senex;" Larry Raben, of the original "Plaids" of Off-Broadway and Los Angeles' FOREVER PLAID, as "Hysterium;" and Matt Merchant, the rugged "Gaston" of Cabrillo's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, as "Miles Gloriosus." Plus more than a dozen more farceurs who will bring FORUM to life, including local favorites Andrew Metzger ("Marcus Lycus"), Tom Hall ("Erronius"), Janelle Loren and Beth Alison.
