Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Great Sondheim Score!
The first commercially successful show for Stephen Sondheim, "A Funny
Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" is a delightful score that
exhibited creativity and imagination and offered everyone a look at
the marvelous work that was to come.
Rating:  - Wish it had the chords
When I bought this item I assumed it had the chords written with the piano/vocal score as many others do. My son plays the piano but he reads the chords when he plays. So, I ended up returning it. So, if you don't need the chords I suppose it will be fine for you!
Rating: - Captures the Essence of Forum, and then some!
"Forum" is one of those rare musical comedies...one of those we hardly ever stuble across. "Forum" is actually funny. And I don't just mean "haha" funny. I mean roll in the aisles and laugh until it hurts funny. The jokes just never stop coming-even during the musical numbers!

Rating: - A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
This book was very enjoyable. I would recomend it to anyone looking for a light hearted book to read that is not to difficult. This book makes you think of what could happen in your everyday life. I think everyone should read this book.
Rating: - I thought it was great but not perfect
I thought the music was very wonderful and original and the way the music was displayed was very good indeed. The score not only is great in itself, it was also a great accompanyment to the liberetto book witch you can also get on amazon.com. for any lovers of this play or anyone who likes broadway at all, I would definatly recomend this book.
