Description

“Guys and Dolls” musical needs actors. Please see the breakdown below.

About the project:
Guys and Dolls is a classic 1950’s Broadway musical at its show-stopping best! Created around Runyon’s short story “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown,” the show follows a rowdy bunch of gamblers, gangsters, and sassy showgirls in a wild game of chance…then love sneaks in!
Set in the bustling 1950’s NYC Manhattan streets with a collage of colorful people and showstopping musical numbers, Frank Loesser’s memorable tunes include “Adelaide’s Lament,” “Luck Be a Lady,” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.”
Guys and Dolls is a 2-hour musical in the classical style of Musical Theatre. Ensemble features include singing and dancing show girls in “Take Back Your Mink” and “A Bushel and a Peck” (tap dance), and the athletic gambler’s ballet in the sewers of Manhattan.
