Edinburgh University Footlights presents the classical musical ‘Guys and Dolls’ at the Pleasance Theatre from the 13th to 17th of February at 7:30 and a 2:30 matinee on Saturday the 17th!
After a very successful run of last year’s term-time show ‘Bring It On’, Edinburgh University Footlights returns to Pleasance Theatre with the all-time classic ‘Guys and Dolls’.
Edinburgh University Footlights is one of the largest university musical theatre companies in Scotland. They are completely student-run and self-funded, with both home-grown and international members. Many of their alumni have moved onto professional careers in theatre. The company always strives to provide exciting creative opportunities for all of their members.
Edinburgh University Footlights’ production of the classic musical ‘Guys and Dolls’ dives into the vibrant world of Damon Runyon’s New York City. Nathan Detroit, a small-time gambler, is on a mission to find the perfect spot for his legendary craps game. That’s where a bet with the smooth Sky Masterson comes in. Sky’s challenge? To sweep Sarah Brown, a strait-laced missionary, off her feet for a dinner date in bustling Havana. And let’s not forget Nathan’s longtime fiancée, Adelaide, a nightclub singer who’s more than ready for commitment.
With unforgettable tunes like “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” previous works of this show have won five Tony Awards and even a Pulitzer Prize. The entirely student-produced show has an incredibly talented cast crew. ‘Guys and Dolls’ will not be one to miss in Edinburgh this February!
