Broadway's Lost Treasures II (2004)

WOW.....What a treasure!

As a former New Yorker, the Broadway musical has always been my first love. I don't get to NY anymore and as much as I miss my friends, I have to say I miss Broadway just as much as I miss them.

I have seen almost all of the shows on this DVD, and I had chills and was brought to tears by 90% of it.

To those who didn't like some of the numbers, there are ways to skip through a DVD. LOL

If you love Broadway Musicals, the great old ones, this is a major treat! August 3, 2008

Lost Treasures found

Provides a rare opportunity to see a Broadway performance as seen from the perspective of a theatre audience. Priceless. May 7, 2007

Broadway history

If you're interested in the history of Broadway musicals, this DVD is a good start. However, it just covers the top-selling shows and does not delve too deeply. July 18, 2006

Treasures is a perfect title for this DVD!

As a musical theatre lover I've seen a lot of footage from various tony's & concerts, but this was delightful! The wide range of preformances and preformers are just great! I'd get this based only on the fact that it has Patti LuPone doing Anthing Goes on it! :) Also, the selections from Jelly's Last Jam & Chicago are just great! Enjoy! (and if you haven't seen the first Lost treasures DVD, treat yourself to that!) February 1, 2006

Good Material, Poorly Put Together

When I first found the Broadway Lost Treasure Serier on Amazon, I nearly jumped up and down in my seat. Any Broadway clips that I can get a hold of I definitly must get. I bought Broadway Lost Treasure I and Broadway Lost Treasures II together. I must say the performances were very good, just because you can't call broadway bad. The way the performances were put together, however, was boring and gave off cheaply made vibes. Dont get me wrong the hosts were fantastic(Jerry Orbach,Angela Lansbery.etc)some of my favorite people, but I wanted I little bit more background information on the shows and things like that.

Overall, I encourage purchasing Broadway Lost Treasures II(and the first one),if you keep an open mind. If you dont know alot about broadway, then this will bore you to tears. This is not what you should purchase if you want to learn more about broadway. If you are more interested in learning more about broadway, rather than just seeing performances, then I would buy "Broadway: The American Musical" (which can be found on Amazon).
