Directed by David Lee, this farcical musical set in ancient Rome is an outrageous, sharp-witted tale of love. The ensemble, led by Tony-nominated Lee Wilkof, works perfectly together as all of the characters get into all sorts of mischievous trouble.

Erich Bergen as Hero is charming, Annie Abrams as Philia is hilarious and Ruth Williamson’s rendition of “Farewell” is comedic genius. The book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim create humor that can be appreciated by modern-day audiences. It is simply wonderful, and laughs are guaranteed!



Freud Playhouse is located at 245 Charles E. Young Drive East, UCLA. For more information, visit reprise.org.
