Lauded by TIME Magazine as “The greatest of all American Musicals!” and hailed by The New York Times as “the show that defines Broadway dazzle.” This Tony-award winning show, including Best Musical, gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of bustling Broadway.
Set in the colorful world of Damon Runyon’s mythical 1950s New York City with its underground dice-slinging rogues, glitzy "showgirls," and high-stakes romances, Guys And Dolls is a sparkling romantic comedy. We are transported from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, and down into the sewers of New York. The story centers on career gambler Sky Masterson who makes the bet of a lifetime to win the heart of “Save-A-Soul” missionary Sarah Brown and long-suffering nightclub star, Adelaide, laments foot-dragging beau Nathan Detroit’s 14-year failure to tie the knot.
Big, brassy, and timelessly exuberant, Guys And Dolls is an ingenious and hilarious tour de force, both in Frank Loesser’s irresistible music and lyrics and in its clever book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Resonating with iconic songs including “Luck Be a Lady”, “If I Were A Bell”, and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” this show, brimming with wit, charm, and a bushel of heart, promises an unforgettable evening at the theatre.
Nicole Tarcza, director of last season’s hit, Peter And The Starcatcher, directs and choreographs. Music Direction is by Paul and JoAnne Schubert; and Caleb Sheedy is the Assistant Director. Diana di Grandi proudly produces the show for Up In One Productions.
The musical is led by Joshua Vega as Sky Masterson, AnnChris Warren as Sarah Brown, Tom Bunker as Nathan Detroit, and Amber McCarthy as Adelaide.
Supporting and featured actors include Mary Kate Barnett, Joseph Beem, Jr., Jessica Boyd, Jalen Carr, Katelyn Farcher, Molly Gilman, Gianluca Guarino, Ryan Hontz, Cedric James, Frances Knutsen, Rick Knutsen, Zelda Kosofsky, Richard Lieberman, Brianna Lindgren, Ory Lopez, Cassiopeia Ottulich, Harrison Mark, Jennifer Quinn, Abbey Ressa, Giovanni Padilla Rios, Jordan Stroly, Dennis Wakeman, Kelsey Wertheim, and Elaine Young.
