It’s staged immersive Shakespeare and transformed its stage into a flooded Oxford for its adaptation of Philip Pullman’s La Belle Sauvage, now the Bridge Theatre is putting on its first musical, running with a Golden Age classic: Frank Loesser, Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows’ 1950 hit, Guys and Dolls.
Like the theatre’s takes on Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Guys and Dolls promises to be an immersive affair, plunging the audience into the centre of the action, and transporting them to the backstreets of Manhattan and the bars of Havana, where they'll meet its gaggle of petty criminals and small-time gangsters, searching for love in the most unlikely of places.
The Bridge’s artistic director Nicholas Hytner helms the production, which opens in 2023 and is scheduled to run for over six months – suggesting the team has serious faith in its success, even if casting is yet to be announced.
Public booking opens on Wednesday 22 June with advanced booking available from Monday 20 June.
