Guys and
Dolls"
at Curtain Call through November 9
You could look for but you could not find a
more energetic production of Frank Loesser’s
"Guys and Dolls" than the one playing at
Curtain Call in Stamford (weekends through
November 17) Mark it highly recommended!
Once in a while it has a few rough edges,
but there are so many smooth ones and great
production numbers that you’ll enjoy it for
all three hours.
Curtain Call is one of those anomalies known
as regional theatre. That means its
professional productions are largely
presented without equity (union) actors. It
would be like any small town theatre except
that 1) it’s in a big city, and 2) it has a
completely dedicated group of staff and
sponsors, and 3) it has Lou Ursone at the
helm. Ursone is a talented company manager
(and a very skilled actor too) who has
encouraged Curtain Call to go for the gold.
The company runs two theaters, both on the
grounds of Sterling Farms Golf Course in
Stamford, and maintains a schedule that
never stops. "Guys and Dolls" is the
beginning of their ‘We Love New York’ series
- which will be continued next month with a
production of "Miracle on 34th
Street."
Back to "Guys and
Dolls." The story of a handsome gambler who
falls in love with a beautiful Salvation
Army type lady, and the frustrations of
Nathan Delight and his fiancée Miss
Adelaide, come to life with lots of fun.
Great singing from the principals; great
direction by Gordon Casagrande, terrific
sets and lighting and costumes. You can find

Get your tickets online. Friday and Saturday
evenings, Sunday afternoon. $25 or less. And
mark this theater as one of your favorites.
It’s a good bet, consistently.
