Guys & Dolls

By Uncategorized, Whats On

Guys and Dolls JR. is a 60 minute adaptation of the show considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. It’s just completed a West End revival and we’re looking forward to seing what our older members in year 9+ bring to this perennial crowd pleaser.

Set in New York City, Guys and Dolls JR. follows gambler, Nathan Detroit, as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town, while the authorities breathe down his neck. Meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years without ever getting married. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown.

Guys and Dolls JR. takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.

Auditions Early June
Rehearsals Monday 11 August to Wednesday 20 August

Newsies

Disney’s Newsies JR. is a 60-minute version of the 2012 Broadway musical, based on the 1992 film, and we’re delighted that our members in schools years 6, 7, and 8 will have to opportunity to perform this rousing musical, this Summer.

When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.

Auditions will be held in early June.
