By the time he'd turned his own Reprise Records label into a going concern in 1963, Frank Sinatra could happily stub out his cigarette on Tradition, then douse the ashes with the slurry of his double bourbon on the rocks. It's not that Sinatra didn't respect the Broadway musical; indeed, he'd done quite well by its ballads over the course of his storied career. But that haughty Tradition--well, she was just another dame who had to go. So Sinatra swiftly showed her the door. Teaming up with musical director Morris Stoloff, a Murderer's Row of the top arrangers in the business (Riddle, May, Martin, Paich, Fielding, Van Cleave, et al.), and a motley assortment of his Rat Pack buddies and label mates, Frank and company turned the core of post-war Broadway (Finian's Rainbow, Kiss Me, Kate, South Pacific, and Guys and Dolls) into the recorded equivalent of Culture Night at the Sands. And if the lively, swingin' results had contemporary Broadway critics spitting their hot toddies through their proper, powdered noses, so much the better.

There are moments here--Sinatra, Dean Martin, and honorary Rat Bing Crosby tearing up Guys and Dolls' "Fugue for Tinhorns"; Frank, Dino, and Sammy Davis Jr. turning "We Open in Venice" from Kiss Me, Kate into a virtual Vegas free-for-all--where you can almost hear the ice tinkling in their tumblers. And yet it works, even in its weirdest, most perverse moments. What kind of demented genius teams Debbie Reynolds with Allan Sherman (on Kate's "Sue Me") or has the foursquare McGuire Sisters harmonize the naughty "The Begat" from Finian's Rainbow? Happily, the same one who turned Dinah Shore and Rosemary Clooney loose on sublime versions of, respectively, South Pacific's "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My Hair" and "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" This is Frank Sinatra's take on Broadway--alive, kicking, and in your face, Jack; be advised not to wait for an apology. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

A perfect marriage.......2007-01-11

Wow! I was blown away by this album. I love both broadway showtunes and music from the 40's so this combination was unbelievable. I don't know who came up with the concept, but it's incredible. I've heard all of these musicals in their original version and have enjoyed them for a time. This album did a fresh take on all of those songs, reviving them once again for me. I accidently found this while doing a search for Jo Stafford CDs. Boy, am I glad I did!

Stick to the originals.......2006-07-23

nice recordings but veer away from the broadway sound and into popular music of the 40's and 50's. Some tracks are awful. Bing Crosby singing (warbling) Younger Than Springtime? Please!! Anyone who's heard Jason Daniely in the recent Carnegie Hall concert version, will never be able to accept any other versions.

DONT BUY HERE GET IT ON ITUNES FOR $30.00.......2006-04-27

do not nuy this here wn you can buy it for one third of the price at itunes

Can You Argue with the HI-LOS?.......2002-05-30

Sinatra, wise beyond his years, hired the Hi-Los when he formed Reprise. This vocal group is perfect in range, technique, quality of musicianship, arrangements, wit, and has won every Jazz Poll hands down while they recorded and performed! Their use on these recordings is a delight.

I would also add that Johnny Prophet -- a name as true to life as Johnny Rocket -- is a revelation...Especially in the KISS ME, KATE section. The arrangement of WERE THINE THAT SPECIAL FACE is magnificent, penned by an arranger's arranger. (Note that well, Billy and Nelson!). Also, his SO IN LOVE is a gem.

Needless to say, Sinatra, Martin, Sammy and Crosby are amazing, as always.

This is an essential album for fans of Sinatra, and the great American songbook!

A glimpse of the past.......2000-03-28

There are better live recordings of the Original Christian Death, but Doll's Theatre is definately worth looking for if you are a true Rozz/Christian Death fan. No band has captured the same energy Williams/Agnew/Bellenger/McGearty had back in '81-83. Newcomers to Christian Death would be better suited to picking up Only Theatre of Pain, Catastrophe Ballet, and Ashes.

Hard to find, but is it REALLY worth it? It's a toss up..........1999-01-04

Early recordings of the band. BAD recordings of the band. The sound quality is horrible, and the only thing that saves this release is the great playing by the band, and the fact that Rozz changes some of the lyrics... Well, it's disappointing, but it is a rare find...

a very enjoyable "Guys and Dolls".......2007-03-12

The 1982 National Theatre revival of GUYS AND DOLLS was a very successful production, and it is beautifully captured on this cast album. Frank Loesser's comedic musical (based on the characters and short stories of Damon Runyon) is filled to the brim with showstoppers, and every one is nailed perfectly.

Julia McKenzie is a broadly-comical Miss Adelaide, and dazzles with "Adelaide's Lament", and "Take Back Your Mink". Partnering her as the marriage-shy Nathan Detroit is Bob Hoskins, whose singing may be acquired taste, but captures the spirit of the role. The duet of "Sue Me" is hilarious and tender in equal measures.

Julie Covington gives the songs of Sarah Brown a softer, pop-style sensibility; and she's paired with the brightly-sung Ian Charleson as Sky Masterson. Ms Covington especially delights with her high-flown "If I Were a Bell". The supporting cast also features David Healy as Nicely-Nicely Johnson (such a fabulous character part); along with John Normington, Barrie Rutter and Kevin Williams.

Director Richard Eyre's GUYS AND DOLLS revival was the National Theatre's top box office earner during the lean years of the 80s. This recording is full of energy and fun, with musical director Tony Britten leading the well-drilled orchestra through each number with speed and fluidity.

Not the most famous recording..........2006-05-10

The National Theatre Cast recording of "Guys and Dolls" is not the most famous, but it's my personal favorite due to the wonderful performance of the late, great Ian Charleson. He doesn't have the rich tones of either Robert Alda (Original Broadway Cast) or Peter Gallagher (Broadway Revival Cast) in his voice, but his is a uniquely sensitive interpretation of the classic role, and well, well, worth the price of the CD.

These guys rock... fun, catchy surf-punk/glam-rock hybrid. Braxus Bane rocks out, and the rest of the kooky kids in this band are pretty fun too. Buy this album if you are looking for a knee-slappin' ghoulish time.

NOT THE BEST ........BUT GOOD.......2001-11-15

This recording is good but it is not the best version that your money can buy. There are some very solid performances here with Emily Loesser making a great outing as Sarah, and her real life husband Don Stephenson bringing the house down with his WONDERFUL rendition of "Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat". Ron Raines(of whom I am a huge fan) sings the role of Sky well because he is a fabulous singer, but he doesn't fit the role of Masterson at all. So in this area there could have been a better casting choice. Criswell is fine as Adelaide and the rest of the cast works well. So...this is a quality recording with two standout performances but you could use your money to but better such as the 92' revival or the New 2001 Maurice Hines recording.
