Reviews and Comments

"Nicely nicely, thank you."

What makes this musical, about gamblers and gangsters, so endearing is its speech. You don't say, "We'll let you know," you say, "We will leave you know." And you never use conjunctions. There's several classic songs (such as Nicely's "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat") and a plethora of humor.

Guest Reviewer: Dave Parker:

Guys and Dolls -- the only musical ever made worth watching...with the possible exception of all the rest of them. But that's only if you like musicals! For me, it's definitely the only musical ever made worth watching...with the possible exception of The Sound of Music.
