Guys and Dolls
Peter truly excelled as Sky Masterson, in Guys and Dolls. I never saw this play when he performed it on Broadway, but I do have the Laser Disc of the making of the G&D soundtrack, called Guys and Dolls: Off the Record. It's really a great LD, sort of a documentary about the play and the actors. I'd never even seen the play before I saw the LD and I thought it was just great!
 I subsequently saw the Road Show version of the Broadway production of Guys and Dolls in Seattle, but of course, Peter Gallagher was long gone. Still, it was nice to finally figure out what the story was all about.
The true abomination, though, was the movie version of Guys and Dolls that had Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson. It was so bad! Of course, I made the mistake of buying the LD before I realized what a truly trash movie it was. |
