Lucas Haupert Actor goes for all the laughs in Lyric’s ‘Forum’ RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com Lucas Haupert is ready for his funny moments on the stage this weekend — and he’ll have several of them.
The Dallas native and out actor is part of Lyric Stage’s newest production A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, which runs through Sunday at the Majestic Theatre.
Haupert was last seen in Lyric’s Ragtime earlier this year and in Garland Summer Musicals’ 9 to 5 the Musical. In Forum, he plays one of the Proteans, who serve as sort of a Greek chorus in the show.
He also shares the stage with one castmate with whom he has much in common. The musical is set in Ancient Rome and offers a mix of vaudevillian bawdiness about Pseudolus, who works to win the hand of Phila for his master Hero with songs by Stephen Sondheim.
