This musical is one of Broadway's greatest farces and combines situations from the 2000-year-old Roman comedies with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville. It tells the bawdy story of a slave named Pseudolus and his attempts to win his freedom by helping his young master woo one of the courtesans who lives next door. As things go wrong, Pseudolus is forced to keep changing his complicated and ludicrous plans if he wishes to be a free man. This musical won five Tony awards including best musical and best book.
