Description / My Opinion
Berkshire - Ordered 03/09/99 - Received 03/19/99

Opened at the Alvin Theater on May 8, 1962 and ran for 964 performances.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Producer, Best Book, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

The booklet contains 2 big and 2 medium B&W pictures and one big color picture of the original production. There's a 2 and a half page synopsis and 4 pages of text about the show by Marc Kirkeby.

Well, the score is from Stephen Sondheim and obviously, it is a very nice, well constructed and full of tender moments music, with very different melodies, representing a large panel of emotions. A very good recording.
