Guys and Dolls Mark Edwards Guys and Dolls Mark Edwards

“…Edwards, was riveting, stirring and strong.”

“Stiff competition for them was the Sky Masterson of Mark Edwards and the Sarah Brown of Sarah Talbot. Writing this an hour and a half after the curtain came down I can vaguely remember thinking I wouldn't like Talbot as Sarah. She seemed too sturdy to be convincing in the role. By Scene 8, in Havana, I knew I'd been wrong. She was ideal and she was great. I felt something akin to this with Edwards first entrance but he, a tenor in a baritone role, won me over sooner. In the second act they both became extraordinary. ‘Luck Be a Lady Tonight’ sung by Edwards, was riveting, stirring and strong. ‘Marry the Man Today,’ which Talbot shared with Cimma, was a comic highpoint and still managed to be sensitive and moving.”
