A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is one of the few musicals I like.
Do you prefer Nathan Lane over Zero Mostel?

Trying to count all the musical references to other shows in that song is a lot of fun!

I love Broadway and musical show tunes. I have to see if I can catch Angela Lansbury as Mame. I have a video of Mame with Lucille Ball and she and Bea Arthur also do this song well.

I usually find it very hard to pick a #1 in any category but in Broadway musicals it is definitely "A Chorus Line"--I have seen 101 productions--so far!!
