This is an enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files. Music and lyrics written by Stephen Sondheim. Includes liner notes by Ken Thorne and Didier C. Deutsch. Personnel: Michael Hordern, Jack Gilford, Phil Silvers (vocals). Audio Remasterer: Toby Mountain. Director: Ken Thorne. The good news is that the screen adaptation of the stage musical A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum retained key cast members, including star Zero Mostel and Jack Gilford, and added such excellent casting choices as Phil Silvers and Michael Crawford. The bad news is that so little of the original Stephen Sondheim score was retained -- only five songs, among them "Comedy Tonight." Filling out the film and this album is a musical score added by Ken Thorne, which won an Academy Award even if it did not, as reissue annotator Didier C. Deutsch claims, "seamlessly [blend] into Sondheim's own themes to form a cohesive musical whole"...The original Broadway cast album from 1962 or the more recent revival cast album remain available. (The reissue is an enhanced CD featuring the movie's original trailer.) ~ William Ruhlmann
