 Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight! May 2, 2000
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
My first experience with Forum was through a friend's high school production. Most of the humor went over my head, as well as the actors'! Ten years later, I found this recording, and it is marvelous!Nathan Lane is priceless, doing exactly what he does best. Of course, pair him with Ernie Sabella and you really can't go wrong. "The House of Marcus Lycus" and "Everybody Ought to Have a Maid" are two of the highlights here. There really isn't a low point at all, Sondheim even handled his romantic leads with a good bit of wit and irony. A must have for any Sondhein fan!
 A wonderful remake of a wonderful show March 8, 2000

One of the great things about this album is how the performances really capture the energy and wit behind Sondhiem's clever lyrics, and wonderful music. Each of the performers goes above and beyond that which they are called upon to do, and the singing becomes infectous. Nathan Lane is wonderful as the scheming Pseudoulus and each line is delivered with such a duality that it never becomes boring to listen to. This is the next best thing to actually seeing the show, and holds a place in my collection as one of my favorites. Wonderful.

I love the show and this recording is awesome with the 96' cast including Nathan Lane. I especially enjoy "Comedy Tonight". Enjoy!!

I, myself, am an aspiring actor. The summer youth theater production of "Forum" opened just yesterday. I have an eensy teensy part, but I love the play 130%. I would DEMAND anybody that is reading this to go see it or listen to it. I've seen it about 20 times and I laugh every single time. It's wonderful and hysterical and just a little bit raunchy. It's one of the most clever plays that I have ever seen.
Forum was awsome March 20, 1999

My high school is doing Forum, and it is not that great, but we saw it before we decided to do it. I was amazed with the performance of the actors. It was well written and acted. I was very impressed, and I reccommend this c.d. to all
