4.0 out of 5 stars Highly informative and enjoyable!, July 22, 1999

This review is from: Guys & Dolls: Off the Record [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I performed in this musical when I was 16, and I adored every aspect. Since then, the music has become some of my favorite, and I love anything to do with it. This movie not only gave me an idea of what it must have been like to do this show professionally, but it also revealed the personalities of some of my favorite Broadway stars! I thought it was a neat idea for a video!

Recently I have been preforming in my area's theater production of Guys & Dolls. This movie was a great learning experience for me becuase it shows what it takes to be a professional singer. I REALLY reccommend it.

This recording is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who has not seen the Broadway cast perform this fun show! This is how I was introduced to Faith Prince, whose performance is ASTONISHING and FAR surpasses the relatively lame one from the movie. It's not a full reproduction of the show, but all of the big numbers are done completely and you can >>> SEE <<< the fun that the cast is having with the music and the roles.

Though I really, REALLY liked Frank Sinatra as Nathan Lane and Stubby Kaye as Nicely-Nicely, I would have LOVED to see THIS group perform the show!
