On Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour, compulsive betting had never been this musical and colorful. Yes the 2015 UK Tour of one of the vintage musicals ever staged is coming up. No need to bet as the dates have been set. But what is Guys and Dolls all about?
The illegal craps game was run by Nathan Detroit. Illegal hence making it very difficult to operate. He came up short by $1000 to keep operations on-going. An idea to raise money was sparked in a way that gamblers know best. By betting, of course. Religious fundamentalist nut Sarah Brown had been a pain in the neck in their operations too. So Nathan bet that his friend Sky Masterson can’t seduce Sarah Brown to his charms. Such is the life of a gambler. You will see that here in Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour.
Nathan succeeded to get Sky into the scheme. On the side, he’s trying to manage a turbulent relationship with Miss Adelaide. A nightclub singer. Miss Adelaide herself is having trouble with Nathan’s gambling. All this drama performed with song-and-dance routines presenting 2 love stories in Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour.
The most popular version of Guys and Dolls featured great talents. Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brandon are two stellar performers. They made the film version an instant classic. Fans that look forward to the Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour would occasionally compare the musical theater versions that followed that version. Quite a tall order. But there have been productions that really passed with flying colors.
The biggest hits to be expected here at Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour add pizzazz and style to the overall vintage theme here. “A Bushel and a Peck” served as one of the most memorable scenes. It was Miss Adelaide’s nightclub act that included The Chickies. Sky Masterson gets his spotlight too through “Luck Be A Lady”. He unleashed all of his frustrations and wishful thinking in that song. He is confident that he can woo the fundamentalist Sarah Brown. Or at least take her to Havana to have one less worry for Nathan.
You will appreciate the honesty. At some point you will relate to the honesty to be expected here at Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour. That blunt honesty is shown on the title track itself – Guys and Dolls. Men would do whatever to woo women to do their bidding. In Nathan’s case, it’s about keeping his relationship with Miss Adelaide strong.
In Sky’s case, he had to woo Sarah Brown. To the point of trying to “save souls” himself just to please Sarah Brown’s fundamentalism. You can see where this is going. It will be hilarious. And the song-and-dance routines would definitely spice everything up into a full course meal of a production.
Casting has yet to be confirmed. But tickets for Guys and Dolls The Musical UK Tour are already up for grabs. The tour kicks off on November 2015 at the Palace Theater Manchester. Click here to reserve your spots.
