Review: GUYS & DOLLS at Fairfield Center Stage
by Sean Fallon
- May 13, 2023
On Friday, May 12th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another phenomenal production by Fairfield Center Stage, GUYS & DOLLS, which is one of the absolute best musicals ever written, with music by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, based on characters created by Damon Runyon. As someone who has seen this show performed on Broadway, I am qualified to say decisively and without exaggeration that Fairfield Center Stage’s performance of GUYS & DOLLS far surpasses and outshines what I saw on Broadway! Fairfield Center Stage has yet again chosen the perfect cast and perfect venue for their production! The venue is Wakeman Hall, inside First Church Congregational of Fairfield. Fairfield Center Stage maximizes the use of both the stage and the area in front of the stage throughout the show. Director Brian Crook, Musical Director Frank Martignetti, and Choreographer Bonnie Gregson combine their talents to bring out the best in the first-rate ensemble cast who all look like they are having a wonderful time playing their respective roles, with excellent stage chemistry, radiating positive energy throughout the audience! The stage presence and dynamics between the cast members are sensational. The performances are so believable, all around, that it is easy to forget that this is a fictional story.
