Foothill Music Theatre has provided us with a pleasant venture into ancient Rome in its A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, but I fear the trip will be too-soon forgotten. This is a journey that could have been so much more if this cast had been given a bit more leeway to let loose and clown it up in order to let this wonderful show’s lyrics, music, and book do their magic of providing outlandish entertainment.
