John Cabot Academy

Annual Production – “Guys and Dolls”

Students at the Academy have staged their own version of the hit West End musical “Guys and Dolls”, playing over three nights this week.  From open auditions where over 80 students tried out for various parts, the final cast of 40 were chosen.  Around 60 students from Y7 to Y11 were involved in the production and have worked hard for 5 months rehearsing, building the set and practising the music for this hit production.

“Guys and Dolls” is a fable about what happens to gambling men and the women who long to tame them. Set in the colourful world of New York City in the mid 20th century, the romantic and funny “Guys and Dolls” is populated with gangsters and gamblers.  Steve Clarke, Head of Music, said, “The students have worked extremely hard pulling this production together and I am extremely proud of their efforts; they have done a brilliant job and congratulations must go to all of them, from backstage crew to actors and musicians.”
