CCM Musical Theatre Presents Broadway Classic GUYS AND DOLLS

The University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music celebrates the 50th anniversary of its Musical Theatre program with a cherished musical comedy from Broadway's golden age, Guys and Dolls. Named one of Cincinnati CityBeat's "most eagerly anticipated fall productions" and listed in Cincinnati's Magazine's "10 can't-miss performances," Guys and Dolls opens at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 19 and continues through Oct. 27, 2018 in CCM's Corbett Auditorium.

The musical tells the story of Nathan Detroit, a gambler trying to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while eluding the authorities. Detroit turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, who ends up chasing straight-laced missionary Sister Sarah Brown as a result.

Featuring iconic musical numbers like "Luck Be a Lady," "A Bushel and a Peck," "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" and more, this Tony Award-winning show takes audiences from the heart of Times Square to the cafés of Havana in a tale of saints and sinners and the lengths they will go for love.

Directed and choreographed by Professor Diane Lala, with musical direction by Professor Roger Grodsky, Guys and Dolls showcases the unbelievable on-stage talent of CCM's musical theatre majors with live accompaniment by CCM's world-class student orchestra.

"CCM established the first BFA musical theatre program in the country, and we are rated as one of the top musical theatre programs in the country," Lala says. "Celebrate our golden anniversary with us as we present this award-winning classic musical."

CCM Musical Theatre 50th Anniversary gala: Arts lovers are invited to get "all dolled up" for a special performance of Guys and Dolls followed by the one-night-only Saints and Sinners Bash on Oct. 20, 2018.
