A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM was first produced on Broadway by the legendary Hal Prince and directed by the equally legendary George Abbott, with choreography by the master, Jerome Robbins (West Side Story, Fiddler On The Roof.)  It won the Tony for Best Musical and for its star, Zero Mostel.  Revivals on Broadway starred Phil Silvers and Nathan Lane, both of whom were also Tony'd for starring in Forum.  After Nathan Lane departed the Forum revival a few years back, it gender bent and starred Whoopi Goldberg.  Whoopi was then followed briefly by David Allan Grier.
