Editorial Reviews

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, the first Broadway show for which Stephen Sondheim wrote both music and lyrics, has proven to be one of the master's most enduring creations, appearing in community theaters and, in 1996, in this full-scale Broadway revival. In the role of the scheming slave Pseudolous, Tony-winner Nathan Lane isn't the maelstorm that was Zero Mostel in the 1962 original Broadway cast, giving a subtler, neurotic performance. While one might miss the sheer force of Mostel's personality driving these madcap antics (based on the Roman comedies of Plautus), Lane's approach allows the show to become more of an ensemble vehicle. In a gender- and race-neutral move, Lane was subsequently replaced on Broadway by Whoopi Goldberg. --David Horiuchi

Must-have

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

I was lucky enough to see this revival musical with its original cast when I was a teenager. It was one of the best productions I have ever seen. So, naturally when I lost my copy, I re-ordered another that same night. This is a comedic romp, you'll learn that in the first number "Comedy Tonight" - sheer genius. I could buy this simply for "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid". Nathan Lane brought home Tony for this one and in listening, you'll hear why. His duet with Mark Lynn-Baker (of TVs "Perfect Stranger"_ "Lovely - reprise" is plain wonderful. And "The House of Marcus Lycus" is another of my favorite numbers. I only wish the original "Love is in the Air" would have been included as a bonus track. Sheer genius - oh, yes, did I mention it's Sondheim. Genuis? Sondheim. Add it to your collection of Broadway musicals, this is a winner all the way around!

Funny is in the Title

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2018

A Funny Thing That Happened on the Way to the Forum is a great soundtrack from a movie (obviously named the same thing). If you have watched the movie, a play about it, or even interested in Latin (whether it be the language or history), the original play is worth doing research on. There are some songs I don't really care for on here, but most of them I enjoyed. My favorites are: the Lovely (Reprise), Comedy Tonight, and I'm Calm.

Not as good as the original but still good

Really liked the original with Zero Mostel, but I do enjoy hearing Nathan Lane sing so I purchased this. I still prefer the original CD. Listen to it on on a regular basis. It's a great musical, underrated by most.

Great CD

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

Enjoyed this CD a great deal. I remember Zero Mostel in the movie version and thought they won't be able to replace him but Nathan Lane is great. There is much more music in this version than on the film. Of course it is a silly comedy with lots of twist but that is what makes it fun. I now want to see the show on the stage. The irony and pathos of the "That Dirty Old Man" is haunting. It was not in the movie. If you like musical comedy, this is a great CD.

Great Comedy Again!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Stephen Sondheim's comedy classic was well-served with this energetic 1996 Broadway revival, with Nathan Lane heading a cast that compares faviourably with the originals. This recording has some more music than the original recording and my only quibble is that, again with the Broadway habit, the original orchestrations have been changed somewhat! A must-have for Broadway musical collectors!

Great music. Funny funny funny. I'm just glad they sped up the music a little bit. The music from the original version and movie adaptation was soooo ~~~~slow~~~~.

The Broadway revival of AFTHOTWTTF is a great addition to your Broadway CD collection. Nathan Lane really stands out in all his numbers. It's also great to hear Ernie Sabella and Mary Testa in the cast. I have to say I enjoy the revival cast recording more than the original recording.

LAUGHS ALL THE WAY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 22, 2010

Verified Purchase

Stephen Sondheim's first musical as both lyricist and composer - slighter than his later illustrious offerings, but easily his funniest and one of the most enjoyable.

Ancient Rome, our guide slave Pseudolus - a wily fixer longing for freedom, life currently devoted to sorting out the many problems of the dysfunctional family he serves. Eccentric neighbours further complicate. Cue for hilarious confusion and songs crammed with wit: "Free", "Pretty Little Picture", "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid", "Impossible", "That Dirty Old Man", "That'll Show Him" and the dumbest of dumb blondes consoled by the thought that at least she is "Lovely". A hoot too is Miles, the self-adoring warrior ("I am my ideal), right from the moment he enters ("Stand aside, everyone. I take large steps.") His rousing "My Bride" is another highlight.

The CD is short by current standards (just under fifty minutes long) but it is packed with delights. Excellent Nathan Lane heads a most talented cast. The result is a joy, a very real treat.
