Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1992 revival cast rewrote the standard for Guys and Dolls, with costumes and sets decked out in splashy colors, a crack pit band conducted by Edward Strauss, and a perfect cast. In the classic setting of Damon Runyon's tales of the New York underworld, Peter Gallagher and Josie de Guzman excel in their respective roles as the suave Sky Masterson and the innocent but hopeful Sarah Brown, but Nathan Lane and Faith Prince are even better as the hopeless couple Nathan Detroit and Miss Adelaide. Walter Bobbie brings the house down with the grand showstopper, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," and the other ensemble numbers, including "The Oldest Established," are also thrilling. Frank Loesser's score, of course, is one of Broadway's greatest ever, with "Luck Be a Lady," "Fugue for Tinhorns," "I've Never Been in Love Before," "A Bushel and a Peck," "More I Cannot Wish You," and "Marry the Man Today." The list goes on, as does Guys and Dolls, in this definitive recording. --David Horiuchi
Album Description
It's rare that a Broadway revival outdoes the original. But this 1992 mounting of Guys and Dolls did just that, eliciting rapturous praise, running for 1,145 performances and earning Tony nods for Nathan Lane, Faith Prince and more! The title tune joins A Bushel and a Peck; Luck Be a Lady; If I Were a Bell , and more.

Best Ever!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guys and Dolls (Audio CD)
To the "Music Fan" from Washington D.C. If Frank Sanatra was the greatest Nathan Detroit, you could at least give him the honor of spelling his name right.This is THE Best recording of Guys and Dolls available. The movie sucks!!!! They took out some of the original songs, and Stubby Kaye in the movie is the BORING and FLAT one, not Nathan Lane. Know what you're talking about before you write a review. This is the best recording of Guys and Dolls, its colorful and livley. A perfect 10!!!

Luck be a great CD,
By Professor Emeritus Johnstone (Darkest India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guys and Dolls (Audio CD)
First off, "Guys and Dolls" is an awesome musical. Secondly, this recording is incredible. All the voices are excellent, and the orchestra complemnts eveything very well. Actually, this is one of the best balances of voices and instruments I have ever heard. My Personal Favorites are "Fugue for Tinhorns", "Guys and Dolls" and "Luck Be a Lady". The People playing the characters of Nicely-Nicely pretty much steal the show with "Fugue" and "Guys" but the Nicelyl comes out and does "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" which just blows everything away. He has an awesome accent and he performs the song so well that you can almost see him performing it on stage. It is also a handy reference tool. I was trying out for the show and before hand I listned to it. I think my familiarity with the music definitely helped land me a part (I got Benny). Over all this is just an awesome soundtrack and a must buy for any lover of Broadway shows.

A real help, and a great album to boot!,
By "timote316" (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guys and Dolls (Audio CD)
I bought this CD to help me memorize the songs I needed to know for my high school's production of "Guys and Dolls", as I was thrown into the show just 3 weeks before we took the stage. Well, the CD helped me do just that. After the production, I began to listen to the songs for pleasure. It was amazing. The only con I found was Nathan Lane. Don't get my wrong, he fits in perfectly with the cast, but at times, it is almost painfull hearing him hit some notes. But, since Nathan Detroit is supposed to be a comical character, he works. Not having seen the 1992 revival, I could not see how the actors worked on stage. But, I have seen the movie. If you could combine the two casts, it would make the ultimate production, from a musical standpoint. Imagine: Peter Gallagher as Skye, Frank Sinatra as Nathan, Jean Simmons as Sarah, Faith Prince as Adelaide. Perfection! Aside from my dream production, this is a great album, a must-have for Broadway fans. I highly suggest this title, especially if you need to memorize the songs quick! Pick this up immediately!
