North Bay Stage Company's GUYS & DOLLS Opens This Weekend at Luther Burbank Center
Guys and Dolls is gangsters, gamblers, dames and more. "This acclaimed musical, performed in-concert with a live orchestra is "joy in its purest form!" Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, it received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Olivier's during its run on Broadway and the West End," says John DeGaetano, artistic director for NBSC.
In this oddball romantic comedy, gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
Join the wonderful cast: Audie Foote, Brianna McGuire, Cindy Brillhart-True, Cheri DuMay, David Strock, Gary Sciford, Jack McEnhill, Jeffrey Schmidt, John Cassidy, Johnny DeBernard, JuliAnna Leonardo, Larry Scharf, Maureen O'Neill, Mia Carmera, Paul Johnson, Paul Mackinnon, Sarah Foster, Susan Markcity, Tim Shippey, Whitney Lawson, and William Stone in this non-stop musical comedy masterpiece. *The role of Sarah Brown will be performed on the following dates by: Maureen O'Neill - April 28, 30, May 5, 12, 13; and Sarah Foster - on April 29, May 6, 7, 14.
