Guys and Dolls is one of the classic musical comedies created by Frank Loesser, which tells the love story between gamblers and just persons. The new version of Guys and Dolls in the West Valley College Theatre directed by Carol Fischer presents a new scene. This play describes the scene of New York in the 1930s and praises the beautiful love. The unforgettable characters and humorous plots make it an attractive play. The design of lighting, set, costume, and sound match with each perfectly, making this play an outstanding musical, while some supporting actors don’t integrate the play well.

The lighting design of the play helps audiences to know what sense would the scenes like to create. The lighting creates the atmosphere for certain scenes time of day (“Light Design”). In Guys and Dolls, the lighting of the opening scene is bright and has neon signs which shine down on the diverse groups, such as sailors, cops and tourists. This design of lighting indicates the disappeared prosperity in New York in the 1930s due to the economic depression, and the difference between people that someone is working hard while some people still desire enjoyment through the design of the neon signs. Besides, the lighting appear in the scene of the nightclub also match with the scene perfectly. It is dark and only the stage and the brand have relatively bright light. This design indicates the merry atmosphere of the club and shapes the ambiguous air in this position. What’s more, the light around the singer is brighter than that around the dancers, showing another excellent point of the lighting design, which is the distribution of darkness and brightness. The time the main character comes out, the light above him or her will be brighter than other areas. This design is used to show the focus of the scene so that the audiences will attach the central person easily. For instance, when Sarah Brown is leading the band to call for sinners to confess, the light around her is brighter than that around others. This is the first appearance of Sarah and it makes sure the identity of her that she is one of the main characters of the play.

The delicate costume design also attracts viewers’ eyesight and it accords with fashion in the time background. The costume of a character should be in accordance with the identity and cater to the specific environments (“WICKED Costumes: Design/Build”). In Guys and Dolls, one of the scene that males gather together appear when the gamblers are vying to pick up the money on the floor. Males dress suits on which there is a collar flower. They also wear cowboy hats whose edges are round in a circle and curling up. The ties are colorful and retro, such as the dark yellow. Another scene that shows the costume beauty is in the club. The dress of dancers is designed in rose-colored and slim and is furcal until the end of left thigh. Dancers all wear long black velvet gloves and a hairy shawl. Their hair are curl and relatively short with a decoration of a black lace flower above. Miss Adelaide, the singer, standing at the center, has a similar makeup in addition to her white accessories, including the short velvet gloves, the shawl, and the lace flowers. When Miss Adelaide date with Nathan and sit on the bench, her cloth becomes a pink skirt with a ribbon at the center of the neck. Her handbag is chocolate and square.

 The set design of Guys and Dolls also provide the viewers with a good visual experience. Scene design is a part of the technical rehearsal and it asks for set building which is constructed prior to the performance. It takes a long time to build the set design of West Side Story from nothing on the stage to the presentation of the buildings and the street scene (“WEST SIDE STORY SET DESIGN TIME LAPSE”). This time lapse appears in Guys and Dolls also. Though audiences are not able to know the detailed process, they can perceive the hard working of the staffs from the spot effects. When the scene comes to the nightclub, there are curtains behind the dancers and below the brand which has words of Hot Box, the name of the nightclub. Besides, the dancers are performing on a platform, which is the stage in the plots. This set design represents the nightclub. The long tassels which are silvery and bright are about to link with the stage, showing the luxury and dissipation life in the club. What’s more, this scene also combines with a background beyond the range of the stage, and it contains the night scene of the city. Thus, there is a contrast between the background and the stage that the one is quiet while the other is busy. The costume design matches the theme of the temporary era and the characteristic of characters.

Actors in Guys and Dolls also try their best to present a perfect performance. The first impression of their performance is that it is a bit of exaggerated than that in the film. Actually, be different from film that could utilize the distance and focal length shot to present the scene, the plays keeps a fixed distance with the viewer. Thus, the performance of actors ought to be a bit of exaggerated so that the viewers could sense the mood of the role through the obvious actions. In fact, the stage of the musical obeys the tradition from the ancient Greek theatre, that audiences sit in a slop and in a semi-circle, and the performance stage is at the center (“Ancient Theatre”). The proper cut of scene and the link of performances shape the sense of run-through, making this play a complete story. Sir Patrick Stewart expresses that a good performance is established based on the understanding of the character (“BBC HARDtalk - Sir Patrick Stewart - Actor” ). Obviously, the actors make it. Specifically, the lovely character of Miss Adelaide, the roguish Nathan, the just Sarah, and the wise Sky are all shaped vividly by those actors. Walken also indicates that actors should have the ability to treat the emergency situation on the stage wisely (“Theater Talk: Actor Christopher Walken”). It is hard to judge that whether there is such an occasion on the stage as the performance goes on smoothly and each actor acts perfectly. As dance takes a huge proportion in the performance, the design of the play pays great attention to this part.

The sound design of the play also matches with the specific scenes properly. Though the music is not loud, it still fills the room and each viewer could listen to the voice of the characters clearly. Instead of using the standard official language, actors have an accent to show the vulgar personality of the characters. One of the representatives is Miss Adelaide. The New York accent is her trademark in her singing and speaking, in accordance with her identity that she is sensitive and soft. Besides, the design of accent also adds the element of comedy to the play. With a musical, the music is important, according to Christopher Walken (“Theater Talk: Actor Christopher Walken”). The song “Fugue For Tinhorns” is given to Nathan Detroit in fact who is pretentious but powerless. As the first song appeared in the play, it combines with classical cadence and Broadway rhythms.

Of course, there are some inadequacies during the performance as the actors comes from the college and lack of sufficient performing experiences. In general, the entire performance is run-through in addition to some defective details, such as the rough space construction. One of the remarkable shortcomings is the ignorance of supporting actors, such as the dancing girls. They try hard but fail to move neatly, and this point becomes the showiest when they perform behind the singer Miss Adelaide, in which scene Adelaide is singing and standing decorously while dancers are presenting a curving dance movement, forming a huge contrast. Some dancers bend slightly while others bend heavily. Correspondingly, the facial expressions of them are distinguishing. The first type of dancers are shy and even expressionless, and the other group laugh and vivid. Besides, the group of dancers who bend slightly are on edge, making the disorder more prominent. The traditional performance in the theatre is based on the powerful mask, which is dynamic and iconographic to help actors emphasize on the body language to show the feature of the character (Wainscott and Fletcher 163). When it comes to the modern society, the mask disappears but the focus on body information is maintained. It is obvious that those dances ignore the importance of their performance, and as a result, they make the body performance not perfect.

As a whole, Guys and Dolls in the West Valley College Theatre is a perfect play though it has some inadequacies. The perfect performance of this play is presented by the combination of the set design, the stage design, and the acting of actors cooperatively, without the match of anyone the play will be a failure. The delicate details of lighting designs, costumes, space construction, the sound effect, and the performances of the actors make the play directed by Carol Fischer perfect. Nevertheless, the less attention to the supporting actors causes the least of perfection. For instance, the dance movement out of neatness of the dancers destroy the visual enjoyment when viewers are watching the singing scene of the nightclub.
