Witham’s Award winning youth group WOW! are back on stage after the enforced covid break in productions across the UK.
The young cast, all under 21 years of age, are excited to bring the Frank Loesser classic musical ‘Guys & Dolls’ to the Witham Public Hall stage this February. The musical based on the short stories of Damon Runyon premiered on Broadway in 1950 where it won the Tony Award for Best Musical. In 1955 it was made into a film which starred Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, Vivian Blaine and Stubby Kaye.
This is quite different from the society’s last production ‘Legally Blonde’ which goes to show the talent and ability this group has to offer. ‘Guys and Dolls’ features some great melodies and well known songs including ‘Luck be a Lady’, ‘I’ve Never Been in Love Before’, ‘ Sit Down Your Rockin’ the Boat’ and the title number ‘Guys & Dolls’.
The 30 strong cast have been busy rehearsing since September last year, in and out of the various restrictions that were put in place over that period, and are now getting ready to take to the Witham Public Hall stage from 14th – 20th February.
Blow away those winter blues and come and enjoy some great live musical theatre in a covid safe environment. Tickets are available from: www.wow.org.uk Prices from: £8.50
