SYNOPSIS
Follow Pseudolus, a crafty slave, who tries win the hand of a beautiful, but slow-witted, courtesan for his young master, Hero, in exchange for his freedom. The show combines situations from 2000-year-old comedies of Roman playwright, Plautus, with the infectious energy of classic vaudeville, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
