Bob Abelman
The Broadway musical and
national tours of the Broadway musical that come through PlayhouseSquare have
become a performing arts paradox. They single-handedly
raise the casual theater audiences’ entertainment expectations while lowering
their standards. Not true for the
absolutely stellar production of “Guys and Dolls” produced by Great Lakes
Theater in collaboration with PlayhouseSquare.

The production bubbles over with joy. The actors' delight in their roles is infectious and palpable.
Every aspect of this show bears the imprimatur of the director's love for this legendary classic.
I loved this show. I bet you will, too.

Christine Howey
Those
lovable cardsharks, bone-shakers, horserace touts and their dames are back
again, filling the fictional streets of New York City with their tortured
syntax and great songs, in Guys and Dolls. This co-production by Great
Lakes Theater and PlayhouseSquare gets plenty of things right—including a
couple juicy performances and some ensemble dance scenes that jolt the Hanna
stage to life.

Kory
Guys & Dolls wreaks of ‘Old Broadway.’ Huge, brilliantly choreographed, full company dance numbers, a classic romance or two, a witty, fast-paced and intelligent script, a perfect cast, and a dazzling set combine to make this a DO NOT MISS production.

Everything about this smart, joyful production pays homage to the original but adds the fizz of the new.
