I really enjoyed the show. I actually went 
in with reluctance thinking I have seen this show enough times and don’t need to see it again. But this is a very different Guys and Dolls than we are used to, which may be hard for some to accept at first. I Liked the opening with Runyon a lot! I love the realistic approach to the characters. Trouble accepting Oliver Platt at first, but by the time “sue me “ came along I was sold. For the first time ever I actually liked and cared about Sarah and Sky. Their chemistry is wonderful and they hook you right away. Craig Bierko’s charm is wonderful…and has a beautiful resonant voice…but falls a bit flat on “luck be a lady”. Kate Jennings Grant's Sarah is perfect. Visually…I love the look and staging, even though some of the projections are a bit vertigo inducing (maybe over used…like in “sit down you’re rockin’ the boat”). But really appreciated feeling like I was being taken to New York, Havana, The sewer, and the Automat. Overall, I think it has great potential with some time to settle in and with a bit of tightening it should be a great success and run a long time!Best wishes and thanks again.
