The musical was also revived with great success in 1996, starring Nathan Lane as Pseudolus ( replaced later in the run by Whoopi Goldberg and also by David Alan Grier ), Mark Linn-Baker as Hysterium, Ernie Sabella as Lycus, Jim Stanek as Hero, Lewis J. Stadlen as Senex, and Cris Groenendaal as Miles Gloriosus.

Unfortunately ( as the two find out when they pay a visit on Lycus ), Philia has been promised to the renowned warrior Miles Gloriosus, who is on his way to claim her.

When Miles Gloriosus arrives to claim his courtesan-bride, Pseudolus hides Philia on the roof of Senex's house ; told that she has " escaped ," Lycus is terrified to face the Captain's wrath.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Miles Gloriosus has just returned from Crete, where there is of course no actual plague.

His plot thoroughly unraveled, Pseudolus appears to be in deep trouble — but Erronius, completing his third circuit of the Roman hills, shows up fortuitously to discover that Miles Gloriosus and Philia are wearing matching rings which mark them as his long-lost children.
