Guys & Dolls comes to the  Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage from May 16 to June 30, 2024. Enjoy this beloved Broadway musical that brings memorable songs and a captivating story to life with an extraordinary cast.

Set in the bustling streets of 1950s New York City, Guys & Dolls follows the intertwining stories of evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown (Chelsea Rose), high-rolling and small-time gamblers Sky Masterson (Jonathan Winsby), Nathan Detroit (Josh Epstein), and Nicely-Nicely Johnson (Tenaj Williams), and showgirl Miss Adelaide (Madeleine Suddaby). Filled with colourful characters, witty dialogue, and toe-tapping musical numbers, this Tony Award–winning show has stood the test of time, remaining a favourite among theatre enthusiasts. The catchy tunes, including classics like “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” promise a night of entertainment that will leave audiences singing long after the final curtain.

Arts Club Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran, who is also directing the show, said, “I can’t wait to dive into the electricity of this urban fantasy world, with its romantic mishaps, strong women, money-making schemes, and comic misadventures…and, oh my, those tunes! Guys & Dolls holds a special place in the hearts of theatre lovers for its blend of humour, romance, and irresistible charm. Our creative team and cast have crafted a fresh and vibrant interpretation of this classic, ensuring that each performance is a celebration of the show’s enduring magic.”

Added Corcoran, “This production of Guys & Dolls is a must-see for anyone—whether they’re a seasoned fan of musicals or discovering this gem for the first time. Our audiences this spring and summer are in for a treat!”

Guys & Dolls is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

ABOUT THE ARTS CLUB THEATRE COMPANY

The Arts Club Theatre Company acknowledges the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, the original stewards of this land on which we operate. We would like to ask those visiting or living here to share their thanks by supporting local Indigenous artists and communities. Acknowledging is always a start to supporting; as we step forward, we wish to be better partners, healers, and helpers to our Indigenous neighbours.

The Arts Club is one of the largest not-for-profit theatre organizations in the country and is the principal gathering place for the theatrical arts in British Columbia. Comprising three unique venues across Vancouver, the Arts Club welcomes more than a quarter million guests annually, tours provincially and nationally, and engages students and artists alike through educational and professional programs.

Above all, the Arts Club is dedicated to the advancement of local artists telling stories from around the globe and, in particular, those of our region. From this, we believe that culture expands, an understanding of differences is nurtured, and art bursts forth. The Arts Club was founded in 1964 and is currently led by Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran and Executive Director Peter Cathie White.
