Theatre review - "Guys and Dolls" (Performing Arts 20 July 2014)

The classical musical received a not very good production - the urst between bad boy Skye and good girl Sarah (the crux of the piece) was completely underdone and they missed the fun and poignancy of Nathan and Adelaide. The supporting cast lacked colour. This piece needs to be carefully cast at the top level - or else be played by enthusiastic amateurs (it suits ham). Can't see yet why it's regarded as one of the great musicals.
