Guys & Dolls Immersive Production: A Fresh Take on a Broadway Classic
If you’ve ever wished you could step right into the world of a Broadway classic, Guys & Dolls: An Immersive Theatrical Experience delivers exactly that, and then some. This fresh take on the beloved musical has already earned high praise from audiences who can’t stop talking about the show’s energy, creativity, and unforgettable performances.
An Immersive Production Like No Other
Presented by Franklin Theatrical Fellowship, the production transforms the theater into the Biltmore Garage, an underground New York casino buzzing with gamblers, hustlers, and showgirls. From the moment you arrive, you’re not just a spectator – you’re part of the action. Pre-show festivities begin about 45 minutes before curtain, inviting guests to mingle with performers over casino games, drinks, and lively conversation. This unique setup blurs the line between audience and cast, setting the stage for a performance that feels personal.
When the musical itself begins, you’ll find all the familiar characters and songs brought to life by a talented ensemble. The show’s in-the-round staging ensures no one is more than a few steps away from the heart of the story. One reviewer called it “the best use of in-the-round I have ever seen,” noting how naturally the actors engaged every corner of the space.
What Audiences Are Saying
After the first weekend of performances, the response has been enthusiastic. Audience members have shared glowing reviews, calling it “incredible performances—we loved every minute!” and “not a single weak link… every performer was perfect for their role.” One attendee said, “I had so much fun tonight… thank you!” while another wrote, “We drove 4 hours to be here for this from Georgia and we were NOT disappointed. Totally worth it. Thank you so much, it was incredible!” Others described the experience as “creative, and so much fun,” and one person remarked, “I saw the immersive Guys & Dolls on London’s West End… this was better. I kid you not. Amazing show!”
