I have heard that this Guys and Dolls is a complete travesty from start to finish, and directors like Des McAnuff should not be allowed to touch classic musicals, because people like him feel it's their duty to improve them with their "concepts." Note to Des: Guys and Dolls didn't need your help. It's a perfect musical and was basically indestructible until you came along and made the incredibly ignorant addition of Damon Runyon to make this show Brechtian. You are a fool, sir - high schools can't screw up Guys and Dolls and yet you can. Bravo. Have you heard the expression "trust the material?" If you don't, don't do the show. I haz spoken, Des.
