Yeah. Saw this in London the other week. It was a fine production but not one that should necessarily come here. Rebel was Rebel and the audience was definitely there to see her do her thing (however unusual it was for an Adelaode interpretation!)

She's way too young for Miss Adelaide. I would love for a first-rate revival to come to Broadway with a first-rate comedienne like Jane Krakowski or Megan Mullally as Miss Adelaide. Rebel Wilson can wait.

There's a great thread that I'm too lazy to look up where a lot of us explain in detail what was so horrible about the last revival. And yes, Lauren Graham and Oliver Platt were absolute disasters in their respective roles.

There was an amazing one-night concert performance at Carnegie Hall two years ago with a great cast: Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, Sierra Bogess and Patrick Wilson. Now that's the cast that should do a revival! There are some clips from it on YouTube.

Rebel was awful. This is a bad Idea. 

 

She  played the character as a complete sex crazed idiot.

 

i legitimately thought that when she spoke, she was attempting to make Adelaide mentally handicapped.

If we weren't allowed the production with Jane Krawkowski, I don't want this one either!

I just recently got really into musicals and have been reading up on and listening to soundtracks from several classic shows, and Guys and Dolls was one of my favorites I heard. I'm already so sad that so many other shows I loved hearing soundtracks of just did revivals in the last few years, so I missed my chance to see them until I'm old, or if at all, so I'd love to see any other great revivals I can...
