Guys and Dolls

In Frank Loesser's classic musical, songs run like New York cabs: another's always just around the corner, often a great one at that. Lamb's Players opening-night performance was spotty, but had a "give them a week to settle in" feel. The leads, Brent Schindele and Kelsey Venter, sang well but played Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown toned down, almost as ensemble roles. Colleen Kollar Smith's choreography is spectacular, and Eileen Bowman's terrific Adelaide's worth the price of admission. Wearing some of Jeanne Reith's flashiest costumes, Bowman plays the chronic sniffler ("a poy-son could develop a code") like a dream role come true [note: due to popular demand, Lamb's has extended the run of the show].
Worth a try.
