Groenendaal speaksAsked whether he preferred the "Phantom" or his current role in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" on Broadway, Groenendaal said, " 'Phantom' is so dark and neurotic and obsessive and possessive it can be difficult and emotional doing that night after night calling up that mood ... But "Forum" celebrates everything that man holds least dear ... lust, greed, vanity, ambition; in short, all of those little failings that make man human. The show is both wise and rigorously disciplined. There's no easy sentimentality in it, but the kind of organized chaos that leads to sheer, extremely contagious high spirits."
