A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM - Press release

Following the roaring success of its May production, 'Once Upon A Time At The Adelphi',
WKLOS continues its diamond jubilee season with a production of 'A Funny Thing Happened
On The Way To The Forum'. What better way to brighten up a cold, dark, autumnal evening
than to visit the Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight Village to see Stephen Sondheim's broad,
bawdy and hilariously entertaining musical comedy. This fun-filled vaudevillian romp through
Ancient Rome is one of the funniest musicals ever written. Mistaken identities, frantic chases,
lascivious husbands, men in dresses, long-lost children, mixed-up potions and more guarantee
that you will be laughing all the way home! Add to the comedy, the witty lyrics and toe-tapping
tunes of Broadway's legendary composer, Stephen Sondheim, in this his 80^th year, and you
have the perfect escape from all our modern day troubles!

The show is being staged at the Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight Village from
Tuesday 19^th to Saturday 23^rd October 2010 nightly at 7.30 p.m. Tickets, 14pounds full & 12pounds
 concessions, are available from the Theatre Box Office on 0151 643 8757, WKLOS' Ticket Secretary
on 0151 342 2143 or online at www.gladstonetheatre.org.uk .

The show is being directed by Paul Kirkbright, musically directed by Rob Bowness
(recipient of NODA Best Musical Director Award 2010) and choreographed by Deborah Clark
(Principal of the Wallasey School of Ballet).

Don't be disappointed, book your tickets now for a show that has 'something familiar,
something peculiar, something for everyone' and is, unquestionably, 'a comedy tonight'!
