At the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the musical Guys and Dolls has been extended for about two more weeks. Here’s their own news report about this. We haven’t seen the show, so can’t comment ourselves:

Polish director Tadeusz Bradecki helms the vivacious cast of Elodie Gillett as Sarah Brown, Kyle Blair as Sky Masterson, Jenny L. Wright as Miss. Adelaide, Shawn Wright as Nathan Detroit and Thom Allison as Nicely-Nicely Johnson — whose performances are consistently earning standing ovations during previews. Memorable performances from Aadin Church, Patty Jamieson, Billy Lake, Peter Millard and Kelly Wong round out the stellar production.
