Sierra Rep’s lovable gangsters shine in ‘Guys And Dolls’
By Lisa Millegan, The Modesto Bee, Calif.
Feb. 12–SONORA — The gangsters and hustlers in the musical comedy “Guys and Dolls” have little in common with anyone on “The Sopranos.”
Created by New York writer Damon Runyon, these characters are for the most part lovable men who just want to make some dough without working too hard.
Director Dennis Jones beautifully depicts a romanticized version of early 1950s New York City in Sierra Repertory Theatre’s season-opening production.
Noble Dinse’s eye-catching Broadway set features a cartoonish version of the skyline with lots of bright lights and colorful storefront signs. In the opening scene, swindlers, prostitutes and gamblers try to avoid police on bustling Broadway.
With a knockout score from Frank Loesser, including such upbeat hits as the title number, “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” this show is classic American musical theater at its best.
