Nigel Harman will be the next Sky Masterson in the West End revival of Guys and Dolls. Current star Ewan McGregor is leaving as scheduled on December 3. Harman will begin two days later, the same day Sarah Lancashire starts as Miss Adelaide.
Harman is best known for playing Dennis Rickman in EastEnders. His West End musical credits include Mamma Mia!, Damn Yankees and Tommy. His other theatrical credits include mountings of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Three Sisters and Privates on Parade.
In addition to McGregor, Guys and Dolls, which is directed by Michael Grandage, currently stars Jane Krakowski, Douglas Hodge and Jenna Russell. The leads' contracts all expire on December 3.
