Guys & Dolls Revival Could Launch Another Irritating Career
Guys and Dolls, the musical about two gambling addicts and the women they deceive into loving them, is coming back to Broadway. Ho hum, right? It's been done at every high school in the States and already had that movie with the fat guy from Island of Dr. Moreau. But! In fact, it's always hugely successful on the White Way. Why, it launched Nathan Lane's career in the 90's! So we have G&D to, um, thank (?) for that! Plus, semi-respected actor Ewan McGregor played Sky in London a few years back. So who will be in this new version? The Village Voice suggests Will & Grace annoyance Sean Hayes as Nathan Detroit and crooner and new Broadway favorite Harry Connick Jr. as Sky Masterson. I could see Connick doing it, but not Sean Hayes. Wouldn't that be a bit of a Nathan Lane retread anyway? Who do you think should be lucking and ladying around? What about the dolls?
