Guys and Dolls at the Savoy Theatre

NOW BOOKING: Guys & Dolls at the Bridge Theatre London

Chichester Festival Theatre’s highly acclaimed and sell out production of Guys and Dolls transfers to the West End’s Savoy Theatre.

Guys and Dolls will play a strictly limited 13 week run at the Savoy theatre opening on 6 January 2016 with previews from 10 December 2015 and playing until 12 March 2016.

Sophie Thompson and Jamie Parker reprise their roles as Miss Adelaide and Sky Masterson with David Haig playing Nathan Detroit and Siubhan Harrison playing Sarah Brown

A joyous and vibrant celebration of Prohibition-era New York, Guys and Dolls first premiered on Broadway in 1950 and captured the optimism and energy of post-World War Two America. This hugely popular and multi award-winning musical, based on the colourful stories by American journalist Damon Runyon renowned for his vivid fictional depictions of the gamblers, hustlers and nightclub singers of New York, features some of Broadway’s greatest musical numbers including ‘My Time of Day’, ‘Luck be a Lady’ and the show-stopping ‘Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat’.

STORY

Nathan Detroit is desperate: he needs money for an illegal dice game, and he needs it fast. Not to mention a 14-year engagement with nightclub singer Miss Adelaide (Sophie Thompson), whose patience is finally running out. Enter notorious gambler Sky Masterson (Jamie Parker), a guy who can never turn down a bet, and straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown, a doll with a heart of ice. Nathan’s wager is that Sky has to romance Sarah by taking her to Havana for dinner and in return he’ll provide a dozen ‘sinners’ for Sarah’s mission. Surely this is one bet Nathan absolutely can’t lose?

Jamie Parker & Noma Dumezweni confirmed for Harry Potter on Broadway

Full casting has been announced for the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Curse Child. No surprises, Jamie Parker (Harry Potter), Noma Dumezweni (Hermione Granger) and Paul Thornley (Ron Weasley) will reprise their roles from the original London production when it transfer to Broadway in March 2018. Also transferring will be Sam Clemmett (Albus Potter), Poppy Miller (Ginny Potter), Alex Price (Draco Malfoy) and Anthony Boyle (Scorpius Malfoy). They will be joined by a cast of 28 new actors in the production which officially opens at the Lyric Theatre on Broadway on 22 April 2018. Written by Jack Thorne and directed by John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts I and II is an original story that picks up 19 years after JK Rowling's seventh book concluded. The story follows an adult Harry Potter and his youngest son Albus who is struggling with the Potter legacy. Box office and Tony Award expectations are high given it won a record breaking nine Olivier Awards including Best New Play and Best Director. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child continues to play at the Palace Theatre, London and is currently booking until 22 July 2018.

Will Jamie Parker & Noma Dumezweni head for the Big White Way?

Now that Broadway dates for J.K Rowling's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have been announced, the hot question on everyone's lips is 'Will Jamie Parker & Noma Dumezweni transfer?' The Olivier Award winning duo (as well as Anthony Boyle) would surely jump at the chance for the bright lights of the Big White Way and the likely Tony Award nomination but its certainly not a given. One issue which might scupper a trip across the pond is both actors have children whom they might not want to leave in the UK or take to the US; Dumezweni recently commented on the difficulty actors with children face working in the theatre. The current London production will see a major cast change at the end of this month which would give both actors plenty of time to recharge and work on other projects prior to rehearsals which would start early next year. Given the high profile, there must be a gazillion leading actors and actresses back-stabbing each other for the coveted roles. Full casting will be announced soon. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will officially on 22 April 2018 at Broadway's Lyric Theatre.

Broadway dates confirmed for Harry Potter play

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to open on Broadway in Spring 2018.

Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a new play by Jack Thorne, directed by John Tiffany. The two-part play recently became the most awarded production in the history of the Olivier Awards, winning a record-breaking nine awards including Best New Play and Best Director. The production has won 22 major theatre awards in the UK since opening last July, including the Evening Standard Best Play Award. The show recently announced the first major cast change with new actors in all the lead roles. New cast announced for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Tickets are on sale via the official website only.

Chichester Festival Theatre appoint Daniel Evans as Artistic Director.

Chichester Festival Theatre have announced that Daniel Evans will take over from Jonathan Church as artistic director in July 2016. Evans has been artistic director of Sheffield Theatres since 2009 where his programming has included seasons of plays by David Hare, Brian Friel, Michael Frayn and Sarah Kane. He is currently directing a new production of Show Boat at Sheffield and his production of American Buffalo with Damian Lewis recently completed a West End run at the Wyndham’s Theatre. Evans who hails from South Wales trained as an actor and has received two Olivier Awards and a Tony nomination. Chichester Festival Theatre Chairman, Sir William Castell, said “I am delighted to confirm Daniel Evans as our next artistic leader. After a comprehensive search, we were presented with a very accomplished shortlist of candidates but it was clear that Daniel’s breadth of experience as a director and actor makes him a brilliant fit for Chichester Festival Theatre. He is widely admired for championing classical work and musicals alongside a commitment to new writing, and his passion for theatre is infectious. I am very happy he has chosen to share that with us as we look forward to a terrific future for CFT.” Daniel Evans said: “I am truly delighted to be asked by the Board at Chichester Festival Theatre to become its next Artistic Director.” Church, who leaves Chichester to take up post as artistic director of Sydney Theatre Company, was responsible for a plethora of hugely successful shows including West End transfers of Sweeney Todd starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton, Gypsy with Imelda Staunton and the forthcoming production of Guys and Dolls at the Savoy. On his time at Sheffield, Evans said "I am hugely grateful to the entire staff at Sheffield Theatres and I'm deeply proud of the bold, passionate and enriching work we've achieved together in our city region. It has been a real privilege to lead the organisation for the last seven years."
