Patrick Swayze (who recently extended his run in the hit revival of Guys and Dolls currently playing the West End) and new cast members Samantha Janus, Amy Nuttall (touring production of My Fair Lady), and Norman Bowman were photographed after the first performance to reflect the cast changes on October 16th.
Samantha Janus, who now plays Miss Adelaide in Michael Grandage's production, is best known for her television appearances, but has also appeared in Peter Hall's touring production of Pinter's Betrayal.
Grandage's revival of Frank Loesser's classic musical opened at the Piccadilly Theatre on June 1, 2005, with an original cast that included Ewan McGregor and Jane Krakowski as Sky Masterson and Miss Adelaide, respectively. Swayze made his London stage debut in Guys and Dolls on July 27. The Hollywood star is best known for his movies Ghost and Dirty Dancing. Onstage, he played Billy Flynn in Chicago and Danny Zuko in Grease, both on Broadway.
