GUYS AND DOLLS at Broadway By the Bay opens November 8th
By: Robert Diamond Oct. 09, 2013
GUYS AND DOLLS, a musical fable of Broadway, runs from November 8th through 17th at the historic Fox Theatre in Redwood City (2215 Broadway Street, Redwood City, CA).
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this romantic comedy embodies the spirit of Broadway and follows the relationships of four vivid and legendary characters: Sarah Brown, the uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game. With music and lyrics by the incomparable Frank Loesser, Guys and Dolls is a must see hit!
"We are ecstatic that Molly Bell will be leading this production. She is one of the most talented theatre professionals I know in the Bay Area. Her spontaneity, boundless energy and attention to detail will give Guys and Dolls a fresh and developed look - breathing new creative life into a classic, fun-loving favorite in the world of Musical Theatre" - Artistic Director, Amanda Folena.
