Guys and Dolls 2/11 EVE (Long) — Page 2

The Donmar Production was incredible. I do not think they are that far off with this new revival. Sure there are still a couple issues to work out, but I am sure they are rehearsing and tweaking every day. The biggest problem I feel, is the gap between some actors being charactures and some others being way to serious. Particularly the Nathan Detroit character. Oliver needs to choose one direction or the other. I personally think that this tale was meant to represent the Runyan stories, so it cannot be too serious. I love the change in time period to be more true to these stories. It works brilliantly!
Compared to a lot of the shows I have seen in previews, G&D is in a great place with 2 weeks left before opening. Billy Elliot was a sh*t show during previews!

I cannot wait till it opens!
