Casting Teenagers for "Guys and Dolls" Show
Looking for teenagers ages 16+ for the "Guys and Dolls" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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 Nathan Detroit’s efforts to find new life for his illegal, but notorious, crap game. When their trusty venue is found out by the police, Nathan has to find a new home for his crap game quickly - but he doesn’t have the dough to secure the one location he finds. Enter Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward attached. Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take the “doll” of Nathan’s choosing to Havana, Cuba, with him on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses uptight Evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown, head of Broadway’s Save-a-Soul Mission.

15 roles
(Vocal Range D4-G5) Nathan’s right-hand man and a gambler himself. Smart, slick, always able to read a situation and adapt to what he thinks are Nathan’s best interest at heart.
(Vocal Range B3-G5) Sarah Brown is the “girl next door” with an adventurous side that’s waiting to escape. She is gently authoritative, the mirror opposite of Sky. Sky is her weakness. Sarah is about substance as much as Sky is about style. She should be an excellent actress as well as singer, and must be able to show two distinct sides of herself.
(Vocal Range F3-G5) A gambler. He is a tough guy with dollar signs as his bottom line. Brings Big Jule into Nathan’s craps game and backs him cheating. However ,he is also a man of his word in the gambling community.
(Vocal Range A3-E5) Nathan’s fiancé́ and a lead performer at the Hot Box nightclub. She loves Nathan more than anything in the world and desperately wants to get married. Pretty, outspoken, stubborn. May appear dim witted but Adelaide is always improving herself and sometimes is “dumb like a fox!”
