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\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct description\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBroadway Musical , 1986 Cast Recording starring NATHAN LANE , Music and Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM , 16 Tracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0072438522232\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6 x 4.9 x 0.4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Note","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45179676033047,"sku":"B000002SJO","price":13.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thestagedoorexchange.com\/products\/a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-forum-1996-broadway-revival-cast","provider":"The Stage Door Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
