Community audiences were transported back to the bustling streets of New York City in the 1950s as talented theater and music students from East Meadow High School performed in Damon Runyon and Frank Loesser’s “Guys and Dolls.” Directed by Christopher Hale, with staging and musical choreography by Karen Goldman, the gifted cast and crew belted out popular favorites such as “Bushel and a Peck,” “I’ve Never Been in Love Before” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” for appreciative fans.
The classic show tells the story of Nathan Detroit, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t convince cold female missionary Sarah Brown to accompany him to Havana. The plot becomes complicated, however, as Sky and Sarah fall in love and as Miss Adelaide tries to convince Nathan to marry her. Lots of missteps and a flair for the dramatic is the prescription for an unforgettable story.
The musical production boasted an 80-member cast, technical staff, crew and design team, and the pit orchestra flawlessly played the challenging musical sets under the direction of Joel Levy.
