I don’t think it is on any of the recordings.

Having just seen Jerome Robbins broadway, I think the Charleston from bullion dollar baby didn’t have much sung. On a Sunday by the seaside from high button shoes seemed to be mostly dance but it might have lyrics.

Largely unaccompanied onstage

Onstage, the big chase scene in Forum is unaccompanied, except for a couple of incidental chords. Perhaps you mean where the soldiers chase Pseudolus early in Act Two? That's just a very straightforward version of "Free," meant to repeat as long as necessary for a particular production.

The chase scene in the movie has a great deal of underscoring, which I think is on the soundtrack recording.

Perhaps you've seen a production that added stuff, but there's really nothing in the licensed materials or the publlshed score for the big chase sequence after the "Funeral Sequence."
