Press Quotes
“Funny, sweet, and thoroughly charming … The voices here are unalloyed, cartoon New York, with a ‘guys and dolls’ locution that earns laughs as much from sentence structure as from the jokes themselves. In Runyon’s universe, unlawful activities are mitigated by a deep but grudging moral code. And his characters, like all good gangsters, occasionally break out into impeccable barbershop harmonies.” —The New Yorker
“A sure bet … graceful, funny, and warm [which] comforts as much as it amuses … a tribute to the era of speakeasies, bootleggers, guys and dolls.” —Curtain Up
“Very charming … sit back and enjoy … high-wire theatre-making that leaves you a little breathless and considerably in awe.” —Theaterscene
“An adorable new wise-guy fable … It’s so lovable that regional theater artistic directors across the land would be their own guys and dolls to program the piece this very year as a seasonal treat. [It] is simply too, too good.” —David Finkle, New York Stage Review
“A little gem of a play.” —NY Theatre Guide
“Tickles the funny bone! … It’s amazing how much can happen in one evening!” —Theater Pizzazz
