Book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart. Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Screenplay and Adaptation by Adolph Green. Broadway’s greatest farce is the perfect escape from life’s troubles. Combining time-tested situations from 2,000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville, this nonstop laugh-fest is the tale of a crafty slave struggling to win—in exchange for freedom—the hand of a beautiful (but slow-witted) courtesan for his young master.
