Following the sold out success of Legally Blonde, Merlin Theatre Production’s have announced that their next autumn show will be the classic Guys and Dolls with auditions happening this week.
They will take place over two days, Tuesday 25th April and Thursday 27th April, both starting at 7pm at the Merlin (you only need attend one audition day). Performances will be from 19th – 21st October 2017.
Making her directorial debut for Merlin Theatre Production (MTP) is Daisy Mercedes who was recently seen captivating audiences with her stunning female Hook in MTP’s Peter Pan. Daisy and her creative team will be looking for a wide range of ages to sing dance and act in this contemporary revival of this classical musical, sometimes hailed as one of the best musical comedies ever written.
Guys and Dolls is a musical romantic comedy involving the unlikeliest of Manhattan pairings: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but.
Set in the Manhattan of Damon Runyon’s short stories, Guys and Dolls tells of con-man Nathan Detroit’s efforts to find new life for his illegal, but notorious, crap game.
Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” and the classic “Luck Be a Lady.”
Everything will be taught on the evening of the auditions and for more information on characters, songs and libretto go to the MTP’s Facebook page or e mail merlintheatreproductions@gmail.com.
There is an audition fee of £20 adults and £10 children (anyone in full-time education or up to the age of 21). The audition fee will be returned if unsuccessful.
All auditionees must be a member of Merlin Theatre Productions – both can be paid on the evening. Minimum age for this show is 16 years plus. If you wish to register in advance use the following link: To register to attend one of the audition dates please follow the link:
