The Gilbert and Sullivan Society presents
'Guys & Dolls' a musical based on the 1955 romantic comedy film of the same name. The show will premiere at the Arts Theatre on October 1st playing until October 10th. Set in New York City in the mid-20th century, "Guys and Dolls" is populated with gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and scantily clad showgirls.
Musically Directed by Martin Cheney with music and lyrics by Frank Loeser, Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows and choreographed by Kerry Hauber. The story begins with Nathan Detroit (Brendan Cooney) and his girlfriend Miss Adelaide (Jeri Williams) who have been dating for 14 years, but have no plans to get engaged. Miss Adelaide wants a husband, white picket fence and a baby while Nathan wants to gamble and is looking for a place to host a big craps game. When the perfect location becomes available Nathan needs to come up with $1000 to pay for it and make sure Adelaide doesn't find out.
The show features all the songs from the movie but standout moments were Miss Adelaide (Jeri Williams) singing a 'Bushel and a Peck' this was just beautiful to watch and the boys rendition of 'Luck be a Lady' it had the crowd cheering on opening night.
Jason Benson who played Sky Masterson did such an amazing job and was perfect for his character. Sophia Bubner who played Sister Sarah Brown has an incredible singing voice and was meant to be on a stage. From the first two songs i knew it was going to be a great representation of Guys & Dolls.
Nicholas Bishop who played Nicely Nicely Johnson did a great job, he was funny to watch and had an incredible singing voice. Other stand out performers were Brendan Cooney who played Nathan Detroit, Linda Ellis who played General Cartwright and Raymond Cullen who played Benny Southstreet.
As the story progresses Nathan bets Sky Masterson (Jason Bensen) $1000 that he cannot persuade Sister Sarah Brown (Sophia Bubner) to accompany him on a trip to Cuba. knowing Sarah will decline he sees an easy $1000, but Sarah agrees in exchange people have to join her mission.
