Welcome to Guys and Dolls, a timeless musical that has delighted audiences for decades with its unforgettable characters, catchy tunes, and heartwarming story. As we bring this beloved classic to life, it’s a true privilege to share with you the vibrant world of 1950's New York City, where the stakes are high, and the dreams are even higher.
The story of Guys and Dolls is one of love, luck, and life-changing choices. It’s about gamblers and showgirls, sinners and saints, and the fine line that often separates the two. What strikes me most about this production is how universal the themes are: the search for love, the desire for redemption, and the courage to take risks even when the odds seem stacked against you.
This production is a celebration of not only the incredible talent on stage, but the dedication and hard work of everyone behind the scenes. From the choreography to the set design, the musicians to the costume crew, it takes an entire team to create the magic that you’ll see here on the stage.
As you watch, I hope you’ll experience not just the romance and the comedy, but also the deeper layers of Guys and Dolls that reflect our own lives—where every person, no matter how far they may seem from the “ideal,” is deserving of love and second chances.
Thank you for being here with us tonight. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
"What's the matter? Roll the dice!"
With gratitude,
Julia Ann Heckathorn
