Information
In ancient Rome, the slave Pseudolus is prepared to do anything to attain his freedom! He’s even prepared to help his young master, Hero, woo the virtuous courtesan, Philia from the neighboring house of ill repute. However, she has already been promised to the renowned warrior Miles Gloriosus. Hero’s parents, Domina and Senex, are anything but thrilled with such a liaison. The witty comedies of the Roman playwright, Plautus, were the inspiration for one of the funniest Broadway musicals ever produced.
Das Musical – eine der lustigsten Musicalkomödien überhaupt – mit der Musik des amerikanischen Musiktheater-Papstes Stephen Sondheim und einem Buch u. a. von Larry Gelbart (Autor des TV-Serienklassikers M*A*S*H) parodiert Sandalen- und Monumentalfilme und greift auf Stoffe und Figuren des römischen Komödiendichters Plautus zurück.Pictures
