Announced today Shane has been cast as ‘Nicely-Nicely Johnson’ in The 2008 Production of Guys and Dolls.
Shane is joining forces with Kath and Kim’s Magda Szubanski, Sea Patrol’s Lisa McCune and Ian Stenlake, Mother and Son’s Garry McDonald and singing star Marina Prior to revive the classic Hollywood musical.
Set in New York in the 40s: 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 evening of high-spirited entertainment. Loesser’s superlative score features such classics as ‘Luck be a Lady’, ‘Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat’, ‘If I Were A Bell’ ‘Sue Me’ and, of course, ‘Guys and Dolls’.
Guys and Dolls will open at the Princess Theatre from March 2008.
