Editorial Review: Description: Off the Record is an exciting documentary that goes behind the scenes and follows the cast around while they are making the recording of the Tony Award® winning production Guys and Dolls. This recording features original cast members from the smash 1992 revival. This program captures all of the backstage energy and stars Peter Gallagher, Josie de Guzman, Nathan Lane and Faith Prince preparing for their roles. The stars sing some of the all-time favorite songs and then sit down to talk about their characters. Director: Jerry Zaks Company: Leslie Feggan, Peter Gallagher, Eleanor Glocknear, Josie de Guzman, Nathan Lane Including Hit Songs: Fugue for Tinhorns, Adelaide’s Lament, Sue Me, The Oldest Established, A Bushel and a Peck, Luck Be A Lady, Follow The Fold, Marry The Man Today, My Time of Day, I’ve Never Been In Love Before, If I Were a Bell, Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat, Guys and Dolls. Amazon.com: Off the Record is not a full-length performance of the classic musical Guys and Dolls, but rather a 55-minute documentary about the making of the studio recording by the cast of the smash 1992 revival. Featured are complete takes of such all-time favorite songs as "Fugue for Tinhorns," "Adelaide's Lament," "Sue Me," "The Oldest Established," and "Luck Be a Lady." Especially thrilling are the company numbers, including one of Broadway's greatest showstoppers, "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat." In addition to the music, director Jerry Zaks and musical director Edward Strauss offer coaching on the harder numbers (we thankfully see only two of the first 129 takes of "My Time of Day"), and stars Peter Gallagher, Josie de Guzman, Nathan Lane, and Faith Prince offer commentary on the show and their characters. This video does a terrific job of capturing the excitement, tension, and energy of the studio and is a lot of fun for anyone who enjoys Broadway cast recordings. --David Horiuchi Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fab Fun For Guys & Dolls FansThis 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 ...

My only regret is that they never mention the name of the show. I never knew that Faith Prince was a dirty mouth and 40 years old. I didn't know that Peter Gallagher had rotten teeth. I didn't know that Jozie de Guzman had more gums than teeth. It is a good documentary nonetheless. Rating: - One heck of a documentaryI watched a bit of this when I got the role of Nicely-Nicely Johnson at the Company Theatre in Norwell. I enjoyed the bits of footage at the beginning and the bit where, "Adelaide doesn't say [expletive deleted]. That was the dirtiest bit of the documentary. I didn't realize that the director was such a good singer. I also didn't know that Peter Gallagher had such ugly teeth. I didn't know that Jozie de Guzman had more gums than teeth. I like looking at them in the pictures of the inlay card. All in all, ...

I love this video and highly reccomend it. I would just say if your really not a fan of anyone in the show or the music the video will get tiresome, otherwise, go for it. Rating: - Highly informative and enjoyable!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! Browse for similar items by category:
