A Great Way to Learn the music of Guys & Dolls!
This book is the full score of Guys & Dolls. It has all the cues for the acting, and it has all the parts to all the music. It's fun to learn, and I would recommend it to anyone for use even after the musical is over.

Better Than Nothing
I found this songbook to be most unimpressive as far as faithful recreations of the songs and only worthwhile to get if there's no alternative. Not only are the arrangements not true to the original harmonies, but whole verses and introductions are left out, and the keys are drastically changed (sosmetimes as much as a fourth lower), which gives the wrong impressions as to the how the song should sound, and the type of voice suited to the song. According to the keys in this songbook, the role of Sarah Brown was sung by an alto when in reality it's a soprano role. Also, I question the leaving out of "Marry the Man Today", one of the best songs in the show. The photos of the different productions at the beginning of the book are nice, but they don't make up for its musical shortcomings.

Great for the fan who isn't exactly ready for Carnegie Hall
I've been playing piano for two years and am not exactly Mozart, but I hate not being able to play songs I love due to that one minor impediment. Then I stumble upon the sheet music to one of my favorite musicals, and I CAN PLAY IT! And what's more, it isn't completely dumbed down so it sounds like "Hot Cross Buns." This could definitely be talent show material. Guys And Dolls for Easy Piano features many of my favorite songs from the show including "Sue Me," "A Bushel and a Peck" and "If I Were A Bell." They aren't too hard to learn nor to master, and are a wonderful way to learn piano and actually like it (so much better than pummeling Ode To Joy to death)!
