Our school just did this musical, pour trio was so amazing! I loved being in this number, I played a Doll that walked down the aisle with a guy following holding a few boxes during the musical interlude after they said Call it Hell call it Heaven. It was so much fun!
In the movie, it is a trio; probably because Frank Sinatra does not have enough singing to do, so they get him (as Nathan Detroit) to join Stubby Kaye (Nicely Nicely) and Johnny Silber (Benny Southstreet) in this number. It works; I think better than the stage version.
Yeah for a number of years I noticed that the stage version doesn't feature enough solos for Nathan. It's really neat how in the movie version there's more solos of Nathan Detroit that are added because Frank Sinatra being a legendary singer was entitled to a lot of singing
The trio that I didn't think worked was in the movie version. They added Nathan Detroit just so that Frank Sinatra could have more solo. It's supposed to be a song regarding Nathan, not a song that Nathan is a part of. Nicely and Benny are trying to give Nathan a hard time
Not quite. The Damon Runyon story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" which Guys and Dolls is based on was first published in 1933. Guys and Dolls had it's first performance on November 24, 1950
i don't know if anyone else notices but Rusty Charlie Messes up at the jazz square right before the long pause of singing at the end of call it hell call it heaven part
Second best time I've seen this preformed, the first being the actual movie in 1955, glad they brought this back. Is it coincidence that, in both performances, they used Nathan, Nicely, and Benny? And keep in mind, comparing this to the original movie isn't fair for this in the least, they had Frank Sinatra, Stubby Kaye, and Johnny Silver performing this.
Well it's optional to put Rusty in there in order to make it a trio. Think about in the movie version when they placed Nathan in the song so that it could be a trio and so that Frank Sinatra could have more solo
It's meant to just be Benny and Nicely, but some productions add in Rusty Charlie and use the three-part version of the song from the film, where Nathan sang it with them. (He was played by Frank Sinatra, so they beefed up Nathan's singing.)
It's too bad that smart business men like Nathan Detroit has got to go and fall in love with his own fiance. Well, that is his weakness. We should be tolorant, as I'm told it's a worldwide weakness.
Great performance!! Whoever did the choreography did a great job.
Yeah ! Probably my favorite version performance wise.

Heathers: The Musical (2.0)
The decision to make this a trio instead of a duo might have been one of the best things to ever come out of musical theatre ever.
Austin Haworth whose the 3rd guy? Harry?
George Serrano it’s probably rusty

So much fun in this! This is great, and does the movie justice given the times!
Yo, this is one of the best versions of this song on UA-cam 👏👏 👏
"Trios never work out"

This is around 100 years old! It was written in the 1920s

I watched this 13 times in a row and still going!😂
Benny Southstreet was the best actor in this entire show, he was hilarious, he kind of remind me of Jim Carey
Brooo why is this actually so funny

At the beginning they say it uses nicely benny and rusty charlie. Not Nathan, would kinda ruin the point if the song if Nathan was in it
Who played Nathan Detroit in this?? He looks really good
There wasn't one
+blanketandme i dont mean in this number, just the whole show
why is rusty charlie in this? i thought it was only benny and nicely.

This is awesome
i love this play, i'm in it right now
The guy in red (I'm pretty sure it's Rusty) could not sing on key...
who is joe???
@TotalMinerbuilder Ah, I didn't look at the beginning, it is Rusty Charlie.
okay so I'm doing this at my school and I'm playing nicely, and we are doing this song as a duet with nicely and benny???
