Guys and Dolls

This was a delightful, well directed show with some lovely additional touches. I particularly enjoyed the overture where principals were introduced in spotlight setting the scene.How lovely to see a stage full of men who could sing and move well. The choreography for them was simple but effective with well timed moves and actions.A pretty Sarah Brown(Mollie Targett) sang beautifully throughout and was well matched to a most likeable Sky Masterson (Daniel Flynn). Nathan Detroit(Richard Longbottom) and Adelaide(Annette Conway) provided some great comedy moments with their matrimonial problems. There was a strong supporting cast and a lovely line up of Hot Box Girls. Chorus singing was strong and really came out in 'Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat' led by a talented Nicely Nicely (Steven Holt). The set was simple, effective and very well lit. The costumes were excellent and a credit to the MAOS wardrobe. I must give a special mention to the Havana scene which flowed beautifully, not an easy scene to get over to the audience. This was a good evenings entertainment sending the audience home singing.
