Title: Classic Broadway magic!
Product review: I've been a longtime fan of "Sophisticated Ladies", ever since the Broadway cast album came out. I was never blessed to see the production. I was very excited discovering the existence of this DVD and it is quite magnificent. Great performances shine throughout, but the unquestionable highlights are every appearance of the legendary Phyllis Hyman. She takes command every time she's on stage with her mesmerizing stage presence and heavenly jazz influenced vocals.The only thing that keeps this DVD from perfection is the absence of original cast members Gregory Hines and Judith Jamison, but it's real, real close. I recommend highly as a must buy for Duke Ellington lovers and Phyllis Hyman lovers everywhere!
