I discovered Nathan Lane when this show opened and they were making appearances on TV shows. I was really impressed when I discovered he was registering with Actor’s Equity there was already a Joseph Lane, his real name. He loved the character of Nathan Detroit so much he chose “Nathan” for his first name. This was before he ever moved to New York. It’s kismet he got to star in GUYS AND DOLLS playing that iconic role.
Nathan is incredible. Is so underrated in Hollywood, it's a shame. I Love mouse hunt, the birdcage, A Funny Thing happened in the forum, the nance, The front page, The iceman cometh or Angels in America. And rencently is awesome in TV show Penny dreadful : City of angels.
Three days ago I was listening to accuradio broadway and heard Nathan Lane singing. 'Hey!' I said 'It's Timon!' I have since heard him in three other shows. I had no idea he was such an established theatre man. The more you know, the more you grow.
It's the wonderful Eddie Strauss, who also served as Music Director and Conductor for the 1987 Lincoln Center revival of Anything Goes. Strauss was invited by Jerry Zaks (who also directed the LC Anything Goes) to join the Guys & Dolls team in 1992 as Music Director! :-)
I disagree. I watched the movie version with Sinatra the other day and honestly was disappointed they didn’t have the dynamics of this performance (though, to be fair, this is the performance I grew up listening to after our school put on Guys and Dolls). Also, Marlon Brando sounds so flat as Sky Masterson...
It’s hard to imagine that anyone ever used this as a “throw away” number. Faith’s last “I could honestly die” breaks my heart every time!
The two of them were perfect in this show. I was lucky enough to see it live and regret only that I didn't go back and see it a few more times.
me too... saw it too... it was great
I was at opening night. Will never forget it (and will never fall out of love with Faith Prince).
LOVE Faith Prince. She lives here in Sacramento and is very involved in local theatre, teaching others, especially young children.
That's sicc I lived near Sac and when I was in theater class we probably had to watch this soundtrack movie like 10 times
Great talent
Good Old, reliable Nathan!
Who is the conductor? I love his expressions.
Gotta love Nathan Lane.

I was lucky enough to see this back in the 90’s with both of them. The way the strings walk down when they sing sue me...sue me. Just brilliant.
Well, Nathan...that's an interesting choice of shirt...
fabulous - love this documentary
Two geniuses at work. Amazing! Does anyone know if this entire special is online anywhere? I used to have it on VHS, but you know...it’s long gone.
Fred Herrman “Guys and Dolls Off the Record” is the DVD, & it’s available on Amazon

yes... they are just to perfect for these roles... amazing
Hey!!! She wasin The Last Dragon
Is this documentary available on netflix? What's it called?
"Guys and Dolls: Off the Record"
Not sure if it's on Netflix.
why does one need a make-up artist for a recording session?
m j probably because it was being taped. She wanted to look her best.
This is just joyous. The ultimate version of this great number.
Timon and Faith Prince
Fantastic performers. Love this musical.
Faith prince.. Awesome ❤️
always interested in the process... so good to see it

Sadly he's no longer with us. He passed away in 2014 from heart failure

Timon
nice job on a wonderful classic piece.
yES
The mustache is not the look man
Two legends. How entertaining
Perfect Adelaide has a name: Faith Prince.
Wonderful!!!
He sounds like jontron
AJ Shaffer Films Jontron sounds like him 😂
Nathan Lane is hilarious. But it's way more enjoyable to hear Frank Sinatra sing the song
