Guys And Dolls
Ewan McGregor will return to the West End in this legendary toe-tapper
The Donmar Warehouse's new production of Frank Loesser's classic
musical, Guys and Dolls, is its first new London production in
23 years
A superb cast is headed by Ewan McGregor as the famous gambler,
Sky Masterson, with Jane Krakowski, Douglas Hodge and Jenna Russell
Guys and Dolls tells
the story of a group of small-time gamblers and the ladies in
their lives
Set in New York, a group of gamblers gather for “The Oldest
Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York”, but
Nathan Detroit (played by Douglas Hodge) needs $1,000 to set the
game up
As any right thinking gambler would do in that situation, he bets
Sky Masterson (Ewan McGregor) $1,000 that he can’t get Salvation
Army prude Sarah Brown to accompany him to Havana
On top of his gambling problems, Detroit also has to deal with
the affections of the amorous Miss Adelaide (Ally McBeal's Jane
Krakowski), who is trying to make him settle down
Nathan Detroit bets his pal, Sky Masterson, that he can't make
the next lady he sees fall in love with him, and when the next
lady happens to be the prim and proper neighbourhood missionary
Sarah Brown, the stage is set for an evening of high spirited
entertainment, set to the toe tapping beat of Loesser's superlative
compositions
Ewan McGregor makes a welcome return to the West End since Little
Malcolm and His Struggle Against the Eunuchs in 1999
