GUYS AND DOLLS

ON STAGE: 2008-2009

Lisa McCune, Marina Prior, Ian Stenlake, Garry McDonald, Shane Jacobson and Magda Szubanski performed a special 12 week season at Capitol Theatre Sydney in March 2009 after a successful 20 week season at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre.

Set in 1940s New York, small time gambler Nathan Detroit (Garry McDonald) – who has been engaged to Adelaide (Marina Prior) his fiancée for 14 years – bets his big-time pal Sky Masterson (Ian Stenlake) that he can’t make the next woman he sees fall in love with him. When that “doll” happens to be the neighbourhood missionary, Sarah Brown (Lisa McCune) the stage is set for an unforgettable evening’s entertainment. It features breathtaking dance routines, fabulous costumes and is bursting with classic hits such as Luck Be a Lady, Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat, Guys and Dolls and the sensational Havana dance number.

This sharp, sexy, contemporary production is a music theatre classic.
