| Goldberg played this scene as a woman fascinated by and admiring the talents of these other women. She also used the scene to express a lot of comic frustration that Hero isn’t seeing what he wants amongst this extraordinary group of women. One of the courtesans was also African-American and Goldberg got quite a laugh when, after the lady did her thing and got rejected by Hero, exclaiming “But that’s my cousin!” And, of course, Goldberg’s Pseudolus ends up with Miles Gloriosus at the end. |

| PSEUDOLUS: Can you see me as a lover? One of great renown, women falling down— HERO: Free? PSEUDOLUS: No! But I'll buy the House of Lycus for my house in town! Can you see me? Can you see me? And of course the House of Lycus is established early in the show as a whore house selling women to men for sexual pleasure... So were these lyrics changed? |

| Interesting. I've seen a couple of productions in the Chicago area -- surprisingly it hasn't been done a lot in my area over the last 25 years. I didn't see the '96 Broadway revival. | |
