Reprise Musical Repertory Theatre is a series of four 12" long playing vinyl albums recorded in Los Angeles in 1963. The four albums were sold through mail order as a box set in 1963, then released separately to retail in 1964.[1] They were conceived and produced by Frank Sinatra. Morris Stoloff was the musical director and the A&R Director was Sonny Burke.

The four discs feature the scores of four popular Broadway musicals of the time – namely Finian's Rainbow (1947), Kiss Me, Kate (1948), South Pacific (1949), and Guys and Dolls (1950) – as performed by various Reprise artists.

The "Guys and Dolls" album[2] was issued on CD in 1992 when the musical itself was enjoying a revival. All the albums were re-released in a box set on September 26, 2000.
