Book Reviews of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Applause Musical Library)
Book Review: This play is great to watch and read. I thoroughly enjoyed watching for my Latin class in high school and reading it in college.
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually do not enjoy reading something that I've already seen in movie form because I already know the story, however I enjoyed reading the play version. As I read along my memory of the movie came back and I could watch the scenes in my head as I read and sang along. You can definitely see the influence of ancient Rome in this comedic contemporary play. Steven Sondheim also does amazing work with the songs once again.
