ACT Of CT Announces Cast For GUYS AND DOLLS

ACT (A Contemporary Theatre) of Connecticut has announced the cast for the first production of their 2022-2023 season - GUYS AND DOLLS. The show marks the start to the theater's fifth season. Directed by ACT of CT's Grammy nominated Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine, GUYS AND DOLLS will be the theater's largest production to date, and will star some incredible Broadway talent.

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, GUYS AND DOLLS follows the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but. With its score of unforgettable songs including "Luck Be a Lady", "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", and "I've Never Been In Love Before", ACT of CT's production is being billed as "a fresh and exciting production that simply is not your parents' GUYS AND DOLLS!"

ACT of CT's Artistic Director Daniel C. Levine says, "GUYS AND DOLLS is one of my all-time favorite musicals. We have not yet produced a 'classical musical' in any of our seasons at ACT of CT, and what better time to do so now as we enter our 5th glorious season. GUYS AND DOLLS is a huge show with so much heart and I am excited for our audiences to see what we have in store for them!"

ACT of CT's GUYS AND DOLLS will star Matt Faucher (Broadway's BEAUTIFUL: THE Carole King MUSICAL) as Sky Masterson, Katherine Riddle (Signature Theater's SHE LOVES ME) as Sarah Brown, Phil Sloves (Broadway's SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS) as Nathan Detroit, and Donna Vivino (Broadway's WICKED, HAIRSPRAY, LES MISERABLES) as Miss Adelaide. The show will feature Michael Boland, Izzy Figueroa, Jeff Gurner, Victor Hernandez, Luis Herrera, Rebecca Hoodwin, Michael McGuirk, Val Moranto, Parker Aimone, Michelle Arotsky, Les Gibbs, Jasmine Gobourne, Alex Hartman, Marlena López Hilderley, Jorie Janeway, Georgia Monroe, Cody Ray, Michael Santomassimo, John Viso, Richard Westfahl.

GUYS AND DOLLS has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling, and is based on characters by Damon Runyon. The show will be directed by Daniel C. Levine, with choreography by Sara Brians, music direction by Jeffrey Campos, music supervision by ACT of CT's Grammy nominated Bryan Perri, scenic design by Jack Mehler, costume coordination by Claudia Stefany, lighting design by Chris Chambers and sound design by Don Hanna.
