Customer Response

Broadway's Lost Treasures
How lucky can you get to have talented pros like these of musical theater in your living room when you want relief!! If you like musicals and super talent, this is for you! These 4 dvds are like an oasis in an electronic era of special effects and gore on TV. You won't regret it.

An Absolute Must
An absolute must for Musical Theater buffs. All of the nominated shows of the past several decades are represented by their best numbers, done by the original cast. One can only wish they could be in High Definition with full surround sound. Still a "must have" if you're Broadway theater fan.

Broadway Lost Treasures is great
All three tapes are great but the first one is my favorite. The dance Michael Jetters did, which we saw on broadway,, shows what a talent he was. TV should have had him dance. We also saw the great talent of Jerry Orback. His Law and Order character did not do him justice even though he was very good.

It was fun to hear the songs being performed by the Broadway people and see some wonderful actors when they were young even though they are still as talended if not more so.

Broadway's Lost Treasures
This DVD package is exactly what I have been looking for. Nothing can compare to it.

Broadway's Lost Treasures - OK not Great
Don't buy this DVD if you are looking for high video quality images. If you are interested in the basics of legendary or at least well known Broadway performers in the roles they made famous or became famous because of, buy it.
