Trevor Jones 200 I marks the beginning of a new millennium and also the anniversary for one of America's greatest musical theatre achievements, Guys and Dolls. As we look back over the past five decades Guys and Dolls has become a worldwide success, produced on every part of the globe. The story it tells is very simple, yet it reflects the culture that once existed in the United States during the 1950's. Guys and Dolls is more than a musical, it is a reflection of artistic achievement in the United States. In this production of Guys and Dolls, we hope to present you with the essence of the story and the warmth of the characters so that generations to come will continue to enjoy the music and words of the Frank Loesser, Abe Burrows, and Jo Swerling creative team for another 50 years. Guys and Dolls has become an American tradition. The most recent revival in the United States occurred in 1992, starring Nathan Lane as Nathan Detroit and received amazing reviews for its ability to entertain and audience fifty years after its original run on Broadway. Incidentally, the mission band costumes you see on the Kline Stage are the actual costumes used in the 1992 Broadway revival. For some of our cast members, this production marks the beginning of their theatre career at Gettysburg College, for others it is the end. As with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Guys and Dolls, the class of 200 I celebrates their own milestone in history at the end of this term. We look back upon the time we have spent together and we see faces that have come and gone, and memories that have been forged for a lifetime. Guys and Dolls seems to be a fitting end to that book of memories in our minds, because it encourages us to reflect and celebrate the past, but also inspires us to look toward the future. Please JOY ur visit to the Kline Theatre, and on behalf of the entire cast and\ rew, we hope you:z;njOe show! , /; /~ ' . /J Michael Harp '0 I -y- President - The Owl and Nightingale Players scenes Act.

More than any G other musical with the possible exception of West Side Story, the show embodies the quintessence of New York, despite being a self-described 'musical fable' -New York as we wish it were, not as it ever was - drawn from the stories of Kansas-born Damon Runyon, who himself didn't even arrive in Manhattan until he was 26. Three of the four original principals were making their Broadway debuts, and the fourth, Sam Levene, had never done a musical before. The director, George S. Kaufman, was a celebrated playwright with no musical experience. Though it turned out to be one of Broadway's most hilarious musical comedies - as well as an acknowledged classic in the field - Guys and Dolls was originally planned as a serious romantic story. Much impressed by the success of South Pacific, producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin felt that if such a compelling musical play could be written about the unlikely romance between naive Nellie Forbush and sophisticated Emile de Becque, an equally affecting story could
