Guys and Dolls – Cast reunite – rehearsals begin!

GUYS and DOLLS

 

 

The all star line up for the Sydney season of GUYS AND DOLLS has commenced rehearsals with preview performances starting next week Friday 6 March at the Capitol Theatre.  Lisa McCune, Marina Prior, Ian Stenlake, Garry McDonald, Shane Jacobson and Magda Szubanski all got together yesterday with the rest of the 30 strong cast, to fine tune and rehearse the production which was the hit of Melbourne this time last year.

 

“It’s so great to see the cast altogether again,” said Director Jamie Lloyd.  They are such a great gang; the entire rehearsal room is constantly in fits of laughter.  We have a fun couple of weeks ahead of us.”

 

GUYS AND DOLLS which will have its Gala Opening on Thursday 12 March has already taken over $15m in Australia. Sydney will see Australia’s biggest stars, together on stage in the famed Donmar Warehouse Production. Based on Damon Runyon’s famous short stories and set in 1940’s New York, small-time gambler Nathan Detroit bets his big time pal Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next woman he sees fall in love with him.  When the next doll happens to be the neighbourhood missionary Sarah Brown, the stage is set for an unforgettable evening’s entertainment.  Featuring the hit musical classics Luck be a Lady, If I Were a Bell; I’ve Never Been in Love Before; Take Back Your Mink; Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat, Guys and Dolls and the sensational Havana dance number.

 

“It has been over 20 years since GUYS AND DOLLS has played Sydney and I don’t know when Sydney will next get to experience this ‘perfect musical’ presented with this calibre of stars,” Howard Panter said.
