Finding true love in a noir New York of hustlers, gangsters and showgirls might sound like a long shot — but add Frank Loesser’s music, a bit of swagger and a bright spotlight, and you’ve got Guys and Dolls, one of Broadway’s best-loved musicals.Cambridge Operatic Society brings the show to the Arts Theatre next week, opening on 14 January, with a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows.
It follows lovable rogue Nathan Detroit as he hunts for a venue for his illicit craps game, while smooth-talking Sky Masterson makes a bet that he can win the heart of Sarah Brown, a determined sergeant at the Save-a-Soul Mission.
Director Helen Petrovna and lead actor Saskia Edwards-Korolczuk, who plays Sarah Brown, spoke to Simon Bertin ahead of a production packed with unforgettable, timeless numbers.
