Bustling with gamblers, gangsters and sassy showgirls, GUYS AND DOLLS introduces audiences to a cast of characters who have become legends in the musical theater world.
The national tour stars Christopher Swan as the infamous Nathan Detroit with Lauren Weinberg as his long-suffering fiancée of fourteen years, Miss Adelaide. The role of the slick, high-rolling gambler Sky Masterson is played by Matthew J. Taylor, and Kayleen Seidl plays Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight “mission doll,” out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square.
GUYS AND DOLLS celebrates Broadway’s golden era with one of the greatest scores ever written for a musical, penned by the legendary Frank Loesser. It features a masterfully witty book and lyrics by Joe Swerling and comedy legend Abe Burrows. Audiences will be immersed in Damon Runyon’s glorious comic book world of 1940s Times Square New York City.
Rounding out the cast of GUYS AND DOLLS is Todd Berkich, Mike McLean, Cliff Blake, John Galas, Jesse Graham, John Ryan, Dru Serkes, Nicolas Baumgartner, Skye Bronfenbrenner, Carlos Chang, Carissa Fiorillo, Kelly Green, Valton Jackson, Colin Lee, Brian Martin, Concetta Morabito, Nick Raynor, Gabriel Rodrigues, Maria Alexis Rodriguez, Mya Rose, Grant Snuffer, Michael C.
