Guys and Dolls
Music & lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling & Abe Burrows
Directed by Michael Stebbings
Music directed by Stephen Clothier
Choreography by Melanie Heaphy
Footlights presented a stripped-down production of this classic musical with just piano and a cast of fifteen at the Gryphon Theatre. While social distancing requirements reduced house sizes, audiences were treated to a close-up experience with the stage oriented lengthwise for shallower rows, and seated drinks service.
