A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Actors:  Zero Mostel, Michael Crawford, Jack Guilford, Phil Silvers, Buster Keaton
Rating: 6 out of 10, still enjoyable romp with a young Michael Crawford (Phantom of the Opera fame) in a supporting role.  This was the first musical I ever sat through and I enjoyed it as a child.  Mostel is awesome as the conniving Sudalis and the rest of the cast plays it just right.  This play was sexism at its height but not in a demeaning way as most of the guys are idiots. 
MVP:  Mostel as the frenetic slave Sudalis
