Review by Joni Lorraine, Austin Broadway World, August 7, 2024
Comments from Michael Barnes, Austin Statesman, August 8, 2024: "Guys and Dolls" is a classic among classic musicals. It always works. Always. All the more so when the producer is Summer Stock Austin. Yeah, the performers are college and high school students, but wow! Fabulous singing. Fabulous dancing. The five leads could hardly be improved upon. My only question: How did these performers, all born in the 21st century, learn all those highly specific 1950 social and cultural references? Must be those mentors at Impact Arts on the job."
Featuring classic hits like "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," this legendary musical will captivate audiences with its humor, romance, and a dash of the unexpected.
