It is totally entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The setting is 1939 in New York City and the costumes seem authentic (like I would know) and fun at the same time. The Salvation Army comes off well in the show, although I am not sure about the female uniforms. Anyway, lots singing and dancing.<\/p>\n<p><ins><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juneauempire.com\/news\/review-guys-and-dolls-a-whole-bushel-of-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\">[Review: &lsquo;Guys and Dolls&rsquo; a whole bushel of fun]<\/a><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>This was originally a big stage production but was very effectively restaged in the small footprint Perseverance venue. It was as good as many of the shows I have seen on Broadway and way better than some of them. There are no bad seats in the theater, so treat yourself to a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Ericka Lee, who plays Miss Adelaide, will know your socks off.
