Surely the sailors on shore leave in dress whites are who they are, and that harried woman (Linda Libby, a hoot) obviously a tourist who sees predators amidst the prey: beneath those two nuns’ habits? Gangsters. As they kaleidoscope around the stage, about half are not what they seem. With set designer Lee Savage’s flashy neon backdrop (an anatomy of glitzy Broadway marquees), the cast wends and wanders near the Save-a-Soul Mission, at 409 49th Street. Instead of the traditional, roughly five-minute overture, director/choreographer Josh Rhodes gives us Runyonland in the flesh. The Old Globe’s Guys and Dolls opens with the unexpected.
Runyonland, in short, is the Big Apple, 1950, through the looking glass. But after a few Bacardi-laced dulce de leches, Sarah flip-flops so much, if she were a salad she’d be “splashing my dressing.”Īnd Nathan Detroit, as confirmed a bachelor as they come, may abandon his 14-year engagement and marry patience-personified Miss Adelaide. Slick, devilish Sky falls for Miss Sarah Brown, the last woman on Earth he’d choose (come on, even Marian the Librarian might catch his eye quicker than the rigid Salvation Army sergeant). Not only that, Sky Masterson’s real name is Obadiah, which means “servant of the Lord.” We are in “Runyonland,” where things reside somewhere between upside and down, where a crap game’s a modern dance/ballet, and where Adelaide can sing about denying a man her body (“Take Back Your Mink”) while performing a striptease at the Hot Box. Except for hints of off-stage trouble - one would not want to tell Big Jule his dice do not have dots - most come off as vaguely innocent. Abe Burrows, who re-wrote Swerling’s threadbare libretto, said the essence of Guys and Dolls “was that these bums act like they were written by Noel Coward.” And they aren’t just pseudo-cultured. Those who don’t allow 24 hour notice will be charged 50% of the service booked.In a sense, Guys and Dolls reconciled the great divide of Loesser’s youth: high- versus low-brow.
