Guys and Dolls has some great dance numbers so I was wondering what possibilities you think he can bring to the show. Though I am not very familiar with his work he seems to be a very innovative choreographer who could bring different movements. This could help the show or it may not. Guys and Dolls is a very traditional show in terms of dancing. It could get too strange if they explore more innovative movements. On the other hand it could bring something new and exciting to the show and leave the audience in awe. Which way do you think it will go?

Not to get stereotypical, but maybe the Havana sequence will get some fire and sizzle this time. Usually I think it is kind of an afterthought to the chorus girl numbers, the street scene character work and the stylized gambling. The girls and the gamblers will probably be fine. I would be a little bit worried about the opening sequence and the "cross-over" stuff.

Not with Michael Kidd's choreography, it wasn't. His work, on stage and screen, still looks modern, exciting, kinetic and wonderfully idiosyncratic.
