I went to see Guys and Dolls at the Opera House a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. I think that Ben Richards was the best.

I went to see guys and dolls tonight and it was amazing. I’m not sure if it was Louise who played Sarah she didnt look much like her picture in the programme but whoever it was was great – thought she was the best one!

I went to Manchester Opera House to see Guys and Dolls last night. Louise Dearman is outstanding as Sarah Brown.
