GUYS AND DOLLS Will Come to Riverside Center
The Frank Loesser classic features Ian Federgreen, Dan Klimko, and Darius J. Manuel in Fredericksburg
Roll the dice on Broadway classic Guys & Dolls, live onstage at Riverside Center for the Performing Arts May 13th through June 28th, 2026. The 1950 Broadway musical was adapted for the silver screen in 1955 with big names such as Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons. Exploring the boundaries of the 1940s, the characters explore love and morality as they try to gamble their way through both. The music and lyrics, by Broadway great Frank Loesser, features favorites like "Luck Be A Lady," "I've Never Been in Love Before," "Buschel and a Peck," and many more.
The two love stories center around Nathan Detroit with Miss Adelaide and Sky Masterson with Sarah Brown, played by Ian Federgreen, Kiley Ernest, Dan Klimko, and Sarah Mae Andersen, respectively. Nicely Nicely Johnson, who has a standout eleven o'clock number, "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat," is played by Darius J. Manuel.
The gamblers include Zachary Spafford as Benny Southstreet, Clay W. Muir as Rusty Charlie, Valencio Lazarczyk as Harry the Horse, Ian Lane as Big Jule. Those in the Save-A-Soul Mission include Andrea Kahane as General Cartwright and Jim Lawson as Arvide Abernathy. Andy Braden plays the role of Lt. Brannigan.
This show is full of high energy dance numbers, which wouldn't be complete without the ensemble of the production. Christian Baciocco, Lizzie Bartlet, Mollie Becker, Hope Blahusch, Kyle Donovan, Gwyneth Fahy, Christopher Florio, Jack Harris, Khanner Milan, Sally Roehl, Anthony Williams, and Stephanie Wood are featured as various ensemble characters throughout the show. Offstage understudies include Colby LeRoy, John Hollinger, and Abigail Weinel.
The creative team is led by CEO, Producing Artistic Director and Director Patrick A'Hearn, Assistant Director/Choreographer Stephanie Wood, and Music Director Carson Eubank. The design team includes Scenic Designer Christian Fleming, Lighting Designer Michael Jarett, Sound Designer Justice Craig, Costume Designer Caroline Tyson, and Wig Designer Bethany Cheek.
