GUYS AND DOLLS Begins Next Month at Light Opera Works

Light Opera Works presents Frank Loesser's GUYS AND DOLLS with 24-piece orchestra, December 26, 2015 through January 3, 2016, at Cahn Auditorium in Evanston.

The Tony Award-winning musical about love, comedy and high stakes includes the classic songs "Luck Be a Lady," "A Bushel and a Peck" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat."

GUYS AND DOLLS is considered by many to be the perfect musical, with a cast of vivid characters: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet to Cuba and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

The production is directed by Light Opera Works artistic director Rudy Hogenmiller, choreographed by Clayton Cross and conducted by Shawn Stengel.

The cast includes Elizabeth Telford (Sarah Brown), Justin Adair (Sky Masterson), Sarah Larson (Miss Adelaide) and Steve Silver (Nathan Detroit).

The design/production team includes Adam Veness (scenic), Brenda Winstead (costumes), Andrew H. Meyers (lighting), Aaron Quick (sound), Alice Salazar (hair and make-up),Tom Campbell (stage manager) and Katie Beeks (production manager).

The opening night reception for GUYS AND DOLLS is sponsored by Smylie Brothers Brewing Co., Evanston.
