Get a ticket to Guys and Dolls at the Octagon, Yeovil – if you can. The show runs until Saturday 12 October.
The Blog’s drama critic writes. . .
Yeovil’s Amateur Operatic Society’s “Guys and Dolls” is a fabulous show by any standard. Lavish sets and costumes, wonderful performances by talented principals, show stopping musical numbers, huge energy and commitment, a witty script and a happy ending. For the high minded there’s even a moral message in there.
YAOS has a large membership and can command huge audiences. This means big budgets, and every penny on sets, costumes and orchestra has been well spent. It is hard to believe than an amateur company can mount a spectacle of this quality, but they have. Well done.
