The critical consensus

A love letter to Broadway, Guys and Dolls will be thrilling audiences a hundred years from now, and this production reminds us why.

****(*)Martin Gray, All Edinburgh Theatre, 13/04/2016

As a product of the post war era, Damon Runyon’s fun and fancy stories were flawlessly fashioned into an uplifting evening of entertainment which, in the hands of director Gordon Greenberg, is still a gamble sure to pay off.

****(*)Katie Stephen, Edinburgh Guide, 13/04/2016

With such a top-notch cast and first-rate creative team, it’s hard to see how this could go wrong, but Greenberg’s production falls flat in too many places that if fails to do full justice to the stellar cast and this musical theatre classic. Ultimately unsatisfying.

***(*)(*)Lauren Humphreys, The Reviews Hub, 13/04/2016

Guys and Dolls raises the spirits and leaves the audience dreaming of the far away city that never sleeps.

****(*)Katie Mitchell, TVBomb, 13/04/2016

Somehow, this production seems to have lost touch with the vital, surging energy of mid-20th century New York, the force that powers every element of this drama.
