Arrived in Oregon today and saw Guys and Dolls. It is my first time at the Festival and Guys and Dolls was pretty good. This marks the first time I've seen a live production of the show with professional actors, and the difference between high schoolers performing the show and adults is enormous. The actors were pretty good, though certainly not Broadway caliber, the set design was really unattractive, and the show was way over-directed (the sewer dance involved some of the dancers doing the worm...) but the show shines through the less than fantastic production. I'll be seeing Pericles on Tuesday and Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land the day after. Has anybody else seen productions at the festival this year? I would love to hear other thoughts.
