Just two days after performing on the 2009 Tony Awards, Best Revival nominee Guys and Dolls announced it will close on June 14. At the time of its closing, the Des McAnuff-directed production will have played 113 performances and 28 previews at the Nederlander Theatre.
The classic musical, which features a score by Frank Loesser and a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, began previews February 5 and officially opened on March 1. It stars Oliver Platt as no-goodnik Nathan Detroit, Lauren Graham as perpetual fiancée Miss Adelaide, Craig Bierko as high-roller Sky Masterson and Kate Jennings Grant as soul-saving Sister Sarah Brown. The production received two Tony nominations—Best Revival and Best Scenic Design (Robert Brill). The original Guys and Dolls opened on Broadway in 1950 and ran 1,200 performances.
A national tour is planned for the 2010-2011 season; route, dates and casting information is forthcoming.
