How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying!
Just as new producers had done to Broadway's 1992 revival of  Frank Loesser'sGuys and  Dolls, this Tony-winning revival of Loesser & Burrows's 1961  Pulitzer Prize winner has been transformed into a cartoon-like fantasy,  featuring even more satire than was originally intended. Which, after  all, is the only way numbers like "Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm" or "A  Secretary Is Not a Toy" can be played in the post-feminist late '90s.  And yet, the original 1961 period piece still remains the better  musical recording--because it had both Robert Morse (who, with all due  respect to Matthew Broderick, owns the role of Finch) and Rudy Vallee;  and because some aficionados are mighty unhappy with the changes made  in the orchestration of the vehicle's much beloved showstopper,  "Brotherhood of Man."--Bill Holdship
