Guys And Dolls

Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but.

_CREATIVE TEAM________

Frank LOESSER Music and Lyrics	One of America’s great composer/lyricists, Frank Loesser began his songwriting career during the Depression as a lyricist, contributing songs to Broadway revues and nightclub acts. His work with composer Irving Actman in the 1936 revue THE ILLUSTRATOR’S SHOW led to a songwriting contract in Hollywood, where he spent the next eleven years working with such composers as Burton Lane, Jule Styne, Arthur Schwartz and Hoagy Carmichael. Some of his film songs from that period include “Two Sleepy People,” “Jingle Jangle Jingle” and “I Don’t Want To Walk Without You.” The first song for which Loesser wrote both words and music was “Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition,” written during his World War II service. His Hollywood work after the war included the hit songs “Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year,” “A Slow Boat To China,” and the 1949 Oscar-winning song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” In 1948 Loesser was approached by fledgling Broadway producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin to write music and lyrics to George Abbott‘s libretto for an adaptation of the classic Brandon Thomas play Charley’s Aunt. The new musical, which starred Ray Bolger, was called WHERE’S CHARLEY? and was a hit. This led to Loesser’s next show, the hugely influential and successful GUYS AND DOLLS in 1950, also produced by Feuer and Martin, with a script by Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling. In 1956 Loesser wrote the libretto, music and lyrics for his next show, THE MOST HAPPY FELLA, adapted from Sidney Howard’s play, They Knew What They Wanted. This impressive score contains over 30 musical numbers and makes extensive use of operatic techniques and forms, including recitative, arias, duets, trios and choral numbers. In 1960 he provided the score and was co-librettist for GREENWILLOW. In 1961, Loesser wrote the score for the Pulitzer Prize-winning HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING. His last show, PLEASURES AND PALACES, closed in 1965 during out-of-town try-outs. For more information on Frank Loesser, please visit his official website.

Abe BURROWS Book	After studying to be a doctor and an accountant, Abe Burrows had a career in sales before becoming a successful radio script writer and writer/performer of musical parody numbers. His first Broadway libretto was Guys and Dolls, co-written with Jo Swerling, with a score by Frank Loesser. Among the musicals for which he provided librettos are Make A Wish, Can-Can and Silk Stockings (both with scores by Cole Porter), Say, Darling, and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (which he also directed; score by Frank Loesser). His non-musical plays include Cactus Flower (written and directed) and Forty Carats (directed).

She began dancing at eight years old and has been fortunate to learn from some of the best in the industry. After a successful career in social dance, Mary found a passion for musical theater with Guys & Dolls being her first production! She went on to perform in several local and international musical productions. Now, she embarks on a new journey as assistant director/choreographer. This opportunity to collaborate with her daughter, Anna, is a full-circle moment that adds extra joy to the experience. Enjoy the show!

It is with immense and sincere pleasure that Corina takes on Guys and Dolls as musical director and conductor.

Karen PEARCE Costume Designer	Karen has been involved in many aspects of theatre production over the years; producer, director, and choreographer.

Karen’s work can been seen in multiple LPD productions including Picasso at the Lapin Agile, The Cat’s Meow, And Then There Were None, and more. Karen loves to paint a picture with color, pattern, and sparkle – some say they can recognize her costumes even before reading the program. Karen is grateful to LPD for their support.
