Gallery Players current production “Guys and
Dolls” is a fun-filled rendition of a great old American Musical theatre
classic.
Amy Silver Judd lights up the stage with her
delightful portrayal of Miss Adelaide.
Todd Covert is a great foil for Judd as the beloved louse, Nathan
Detroit who has been promising to marry Miss Adelaide for 14 years.
Nice work from Christopher Storer (Sky
Masterson) and Kristin Yarger (Sarah Brown) who create the other "more serious" romance for the story.
Director Mark Mann has assembled a capable
ensemble. The stage is filled with many skilled singers and dancers including
Ryan Kopycinski (Niceley Nicely), Kent Stuckey (Benny Southstreet) and Denae
Sullivan (Arvide Abernathy). It is a
well-paced show supported by good music-making from music director Bryan
Babcock and his orchestra.
The show was written and first-produced in the
1920’s. But the tunes and the story line are timeless.
The Gallery production is a
pleasant piece.
