Wilson High School presents GUYS AND DOLLS

[Anonymous]

Tickets are now on sale for Guys and Dolls!

Called “The Perfect Musical Comedy”, the Tony Award winning, Guys and Dolls is a love story but it all starts with a bet. The cops are cracking down on gambling in New York City, however, with all the slickest high rollers in town, Nathan Detroit is under some extra pressure to score a new spot for his floating crap game. His best bet for a location wants $1000 and Nathan is coming up short. When he runs into Sky Masterson, the devilishly handsome and famously daring gambler, Nathan makes a wager he believes he cannot lose: Sky must take a doll of Nathan’s choosing with him to Havana that night, or pay up to the order of $1000 – that doll is none other than Sergeant Sarah Brown of the Salvation Army, a woman on a mission to save the souls of New York’s sinners.

Featuring a well known score with songs such the rollicking “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat” and show stopper, “Luck be a Lady”, this musical is sure to delight all ages. Because the Wilson fall musicals have become a school and community favorite, we encourage you to reserve early.

Wilson puts on Guys and Dolls and Ellington puts on Dreamgirls. Diverse.

Wilson has also performed "Ragtime" and "Hairspray"....large productions with diverse role requirements. Recent productions at Wilson..."Urinetown", "Oliver" and "Guys ans Dolls" all show "colorblind" casting. I am sure it is the same at Ellington. To name one show each for each school (Dreamgirls was two years ago!) to try to make an some kind of indictment of racial bias just shows how little you know about theatre in the 21st century in general and these two schools in particular!
