Called
the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls Jr. is also
a perfect introduction to the Broadway musical. Set in Damon Runyon's
mythical New York City, this Broadway classic introduces us to
colorful characters who have become legends in the canon: "Sarah
Brown," the up right 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 Jr. will be directed by the artistic team from
Anchorage's hottest musical theatre company: Theatre Artists United:
music direction by Steven Alvarez, choreography by Kristen Vierthaler
and stage direction by Christian Heppinstall. TAU recently produced
the sold-out Broadway musicals HAIR and The Rocky
Horror Show.
