※ 引述《ppr (I loathe myself)》之銘言：
: 直接把Daily Telegraph的review貼上來
: McGregor out of luck in classic tale of lowlife on Broadway
: Charles Spencer reviews Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre
: For many of us Guys and Dolls is the One, the greatest of all the great
: Broadway musicals.
: Yes, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, West Side Story, Gypsy and Sweeney Todd all have
: an undeniable claim on posterity, but to these eyes, these ears, none can
: quite match the wit, the pathos, or the sheer spirit-lifting exuberance of
: Frank Loesser's wonderful musical fable of Broadway
: I first encountered Guys and Dolls at the first night of Richard Eyre's
: celebrated production at the National Theatre in 1982. I was suffering from a
: clinical depression at the time, but for a few glorious hours the show seemed
: like a great, gaudy neon-lit beacon of hope.
果然評論這種東西是見仁見智的，另一篇可是愛死了這個版本的舞蹈咧！
而且這位先生心目中完全只有先前的經典演出
當然任何一個別人再重做的版本他都不會喜歡啊 =.=|||
: Eyre's Guys and Dolls has entered theatrical legend, so director Michael
: Grandage was risking a great deal by coming up with a brand new production for
: his Donmar Warehouse company in the West End. Could he dispel our possibly
: rose-tinted memories of past glories and better a staging viewed by many
: as definitive?
: Well, I hate to come over all curmudgeonly but the short answer is that he
: couldn't. There is much to enjoy, passages when the show undoubtedly achieves
: lift-off, but it never quite achieves that sense of pure and continuous
: pleasure that Eyre conjured at the National.
: Indeed, unusually for Grandage, the production sometimes smells more of
: perspiration than inspiration. There are sections when nothing much seems to be
: happening, and the staging too often fails to capture the drop-dead humour,
: charged energy and personalities of the Damon Runyon short stories of Broadway
: lowlife that inspired Abe Burrows's script.
: Christopher Oram's Times Square setting lacks the required fizzing voltage,
: while Rob Ashford's choreography, though it has its moments, never quite
: transports the audience to dance heaven.
: The show's biggest failure though is its biggest star. Ewan McGregor's
: Sky Masterson, the suave professional gambler who becomes emotionally entangled
: with the Salvationist missionary Sarah Brown, proves the hole at the show's
: heart. Sky needs to be charming with just a hint of danger about him, but
: McGregor's performance is as eerily blank and sexless as his Obi Wan Kenobi
Ok, 看到這裡我受不了了.......
Obi Wan Kenobi IS sexy!!! Man r u crazy?!?! XD
: in Star Wars. His tight, strained voice never really lets rip on Loesser's
: soaring numbers like My Time of Day and Luck Be A Lady, and there is almost
: no crackle of sexual tension in his dealings with Jenna Russell's touchingly
: vulnerable Sarah. She's a delight, but finds herself lumbered with a
: Jedi knight devoid of charisma.
: （哼哼哼哼哼）
: Happily there is better news elsewhere. Douglas Hodge again reminds us what a
: great comic actor he is as Nathan Detroit, organiser of The Oldest Established
: Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York. His crumpled, lived-in face is
: superbly eloquent of dismay and bewilderment.
: And his relationship with Jane Krakowski's Miss Adelaide, seen here as a
: burlesque girl who wears very little indeed beneath her white mink stole, is
: the show's chief pleasure. Their 14-year-old engagement is beautifully caught
: in all its rueful affection, and Miss Krakowski's adenoidal Adelaide's Lament
: encapsulates the humour and pathos that makes this show so special. To fail
另外有看到幾篇倒是把Douglas Hodge與Jane Krakowski評得很差....
倒是Jane Russel似乎是公認的好....嗯....從小小的影片裡看他的確蠻厲害的...
: to be touched at such a moment, one would, as Runyon put it, need to be such
: a guy as will never be moved by anything short of an earthquake. But there are
: too many occasions in this production when the earth fails to move.

見仁見智見仁見智啊......

: BTW, Guys and Dolls的宣傳單今天已寄出。
