Guys and Dolls Junior is the young
performer's
version
of
the
Broadway
classic!
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this
Broadway classic introduces us to colourful characters who
have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright
but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of
Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler
who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide,
the nightclub performer whose chronic cold 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.
Guys and Dolls opened on Broadway on November 24, 1950
and was praised by reviewers as one of the most well
constructed book musicals in Broadway history.
Guys and Dolls has had several successful Broadway revivals
and tours, and is one of the most produced shows
worldwide. The Broadway Junior version has the approval of
the author’s estate and was first produced in 1998.

Let's be blunt right from the get-go: Guys and Dolls is
not an easy show to put onstage for anyone, let alone
a bunch of guys and dolls between the ages of 10 and
18 years. However, as they've proven time and time
again over the last three months, these kids aren't just
any 10-18-year-olds; they are 48 creative, determined,
energetic, spirited, kind-hearted, unique and, yes,
extremely talented performers and human beings who
have grown as much as the production itself, both
onstage and off.
So with a bite of a New York "cheeseBOIger" (only the
kids will understand that), a spoonful of Mindy's
cheesecake (or strudel!), a 50-cent "corffee" to wash it
down and a gruff Brooklyn accent to add authenticity,
we welcome you to Guys and Dolls Jr from the bottom
of our hearts.
Enjoy the show... or Big Jule may see you afterwards...
