Travel to ancient Rome with ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum’

#breckenridge #colorado #coloradorealestate 


Lake Dillon Theatre Co. is ready to act as your summer tour guide. This season, actors will transport guests to ancient Rome and 16th-century Spain with classic musicals performed in a repertory fashion, meaning the same cast will appear in two different alternating programs.

First is “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” which opened Friday, June 17. The comedic musical features songs and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and is inspired by the playwright Plautus’ farcical works. Then, beginning July 1, the same talent will take the stage in “Man of La Mancha.” The 1965 musical is an adaptation of Dale Wasserman’s play “I, Don Quixote,” which features Miguel de Cervantes retelling his classic novel during the Spanish Inquisition.
