Featuring keenly clever tunes like 'Comedy Tonight' and 'Lovely', this wild Stephen Sondheim musical about a raucous gaggle of ancient Romans is a 'flip, glib and sophisticated, yet rump-slapping bawdy and fast-paced look at the seamy underside of classical Rome through hipster's shades' (Variety).; ; When a wily, witty, lying, lazy, cheating slave discovers that his master's son is in love with the girl-next-door - a virgin coutesan - he promises to help win her heart in exchange for his freedom. But the road to romance is blocked with stunning surprises, cunning disguises - and the wildest chariot race ever!
