This is a fabulous view into Broadway in time gone by. A chance to actually see Julie Andrews doing my fair lady while on Broadway alone is worth the price. But that is just the beginning Camelot the original tony and Maria from west side story so many others in the roles they originated. If you are a Broadway fan you will love this

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I hoped for.
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012
Verified Purchase
I purchased this tape with great expectations. I am a big fan of Broadway musicals and of Ed Sullivan. We have a collection of wonderful Ed Sullivan compilation tapes on other topics. I was hoping this would be the best one ever. Unfortunately, it doesn't compare in any way to the other tapes.

This tape cuts out most of Ed's interaction with the performers. Instead, it adds dark & dull offstage interviews with composers and producers, adds meaningless narration by John Raitt, and jumps right into most performances abruptly.

The first several numbers are from the 1950's, and the film/sound quality isn't very good. I realize these are very old clips, but the quality on our other Ed Sullivan tapes is much better.

I usually love old performances. Perhaps I am just the wrong generation for original cast members, but somehow, I can't get into any of these performances. I have seen these plays/songs by so many other people that I like a lot better. It is only my personal preference, but I especially disliked Celeste Holm singing "I Can't Say No".

However, if you truly are a fan of the original singers, you probably will like this tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Chance to See Excerpts from Ed Sullivan Show with performances from Broadway shows
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
Verified Purchase
I loved to watch these excerpts from the Ed Sullivan Show which were from Broadway shows that were running at the time. For example, this DVD includes when Julie Andrews and Richard Burton were on Broadway in Camelot and they performed “What Do the Simple Folk Do” from the show on Ed Sullivan. I was a child who grew up loving the cast album but never dreamed I could see any excerpt from the Broadway show today. I would love to see more Ed Sullivan shows!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful performances from classic shows
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2004

I must respectfully disagree with the reviewer who felt that most of the performances on this DVD were "wooden." My reaction was quite the opposite! I felt that the actors and actresses were really performing the parts, just as they would have done them in the actual shows. I often forgot that I was, in fact, watching a clip from a variety show, and felt as though I were watching the show itself on Broadway (and I have been to many Broadway shows, so I certainly know what that experience is like!)

I especially enjoyed seeing the clips of Julie Andrews in "My Fair Lady," Carole Lawrence and Richard Beymer in "West Side Story," and Celeste Holm in "Oklahoma!" Of course, there were a few actors and/or shows which I just don't personally like very much (Anthony Newley, "Man of La Mancha," Gwen Verdon), but that's not to say that their performances weren't well done.

I also enjoyed the narration by John Raitt, and hoped to see more of him (he is just shown singing the title song from "Oklahoma!") There is supposed to be a "Part 2" DVD coming out with more of Raitt included, as well as performances from many other shows. I hope it is released soon!

My only reason for not giving this DVD 5 stars is that the quality of some of the clips isn't very good, but that is understandable considering how old they are.

I would definitely recommend this DVD over "Broadway's Lost Treasures," which I found very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scenes from Great Broadway Shows, Almost Gone
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2010

"The Best of Broadway Musicals, Original Cast Performances from the Ed Sullivan Show" is a treasure. Ed was a Great White Way columnist who became very popular when he hosted his Sunday night television performance show. On his show were comedians, vaudeville acts, the hottest new musicians like the Beatles and Elvis, and best of all his presentation of now rare scenes from the then current Broadway hits. Were it not for his show many of these scenes would have been lost forever. It starts with Ethel Merman belting out "There's No Business like Show Business."
There's a 1955 video of Richard Rodgers conducting an orchestra and chorus for a sung number from "Oklahoma". There are performances by Carol Channing, John Raitt, Anthony Newley, Julie Andrews, Richard Burton, Gwen Verdon, Richard Kiley, and Pearl Bailey. The early years are in black and white with color showing up in 1966 episodes; the quality is very good. Watching Richard Burton from "Camelot" whistling and doing a high-stepping dance is a treat.
These are not just snippets but full performances with sets and costumes. There are brief interviews with Lerner and Loewe and Rodgers and Hammerstein. This is a must-see for people who love the American musical.
