Variety reviews Guys and Dolls
June 3, 200
MATT WOLF
(節錄)
The odds are that everyone will have his own favorite moment in Michael
Grandage's loving London revival of "Guys and Dolls," which looks to
resuscitate a Broadway mainstay for today's generation just as Richard
Eyre's legendary National Theater staging did in 1982 (and again in 1996).
But the evening's most unexpected kick is the dynamic dance musical
wrought from a show known principally for its book and score. Auds will
go in humming any of a half-dozen cherished Frank Loesser songs and come
out knocked sideways by the footwork: The first-act "Havana" number comes
close to heaven.
The question isn't whether "Moulin Rouge" crooner Ewan McGregor, playing
the sexiest, sweetest Sky Masterson imaginable, can cut it singing live
--- though he does quite capably, complete with the occasional head voice
that holds the note. Just as crucial is the realization that the boy can
move. Whether sweeping up a Cuban native (the impossibly leggy Summer
Strallen) during that Havana jaunt or joining his fellow gamblers for an
impulsive terpsichorean outpouring on "Luck Be a Lady," he does his bit
to sustain the momentum. And when the steps get too fancy? McGregor's
smart enough to get out of the way.
(中間跳過直接到結尾)
All McGregor has to do, it seems, is grin, and the entire house swoons,
which makes Russell's clarion-voiced, sensitively acted Sarah doubly
commendable. (After "I'll Know," it's poignantly clear from her expression
that Sarah isn't at all sure about the ways of Eros.) McGregor's tenor, in
turn, may have its metallic moments, but thesp delivers where it counts,
Sky's emerging heart at one with a production that traffics not in glitz
but truth. And then, when it starts dancing, whisks you away with it.
