2011.5.19. Guys and Dolls

5th Avenue Theatre. A remake of Guys and Dolls, a 1950 musical. Excellent direction, dancing and acting. Nice and efficient stage set, even though it's made of essentially flat card board. Costume is also lovely. Opening is cute. "Adelaide's lament" and "Sue Me" are very funny. "Havana", "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" and "Luck Be a Lady" are wonderfully choreographed. Silly story: a group of gamblers, a missionary girl and a showgirl. Very enjoyable.
