GUYS & DOLLS @ Playhouse

'Guys & Dolls' is a legendary Broadway musical comedy set in 1950s New York bursting with gamblers,
show girls and 'Save Our Souls' missionaries - and the outrageous consequences of when their worlds
collide! The show features glorious singing of fabulous songs including Luck be a Lady, Miss Adelaide's
Lament, Sue Me and the title song Guys and Dolls, with show stopping dancing, beautiful costumes and
settings
and
engaging
performances.
In only it's fifth year, the Musical Theatre Crew has developed a reputation for high quality productions
showcasing outstanding young Tasmanian talent who train at MTCrew in all aspects of musical theatre
with
high
quality
teachers,
directors,
choreographers
and
vocal
directors.
The outstanding quality of performances and productions presented by the Senior Crew garnered a total
of six Tasmania Theatre Awards nominations including one Award for Best Choreography in early 2015
for
the
fabulously
entertaining
Anything
Goes.
The Senior Performance Ensemble perform alongside experienced performers, whom in the past have
included John Xintavelonis, David Gilkes, Carmen Falk, Peter West and Jeff Michel. This year, Jeff
Michel's comedic talents will once again shine in 'Guys & Dolls' with the Senior Crew alongside the
gentle tenor of Andrew Hawkey as Brother Arvide. Directed by Leiz Moore, Associate Director Allan
Jeffrey, Choreographer Mandy Lowrie, Vocal Director James Bourke and a slick, toe-tapping band - they
have combined their flair to create a classic interpretation of this Broadway hit!

SEX WITH STRANGERS @ Peacock
Wed 16 - Sat 19 Sep
Trapped in a rural writer's retreat by a snowstorm, serious writer turned professor, Olivia (Tottie Goldsmith) is
settling down to write her second novel, which she hopes will be more successful than her first. In from the snow
walks Ethan (Samuel Johnson), a brash, handsome, highly successful, Y-Generation blog writer with aspirations of
literary legitimacy. Olivia succumbs to his obvious charm and seemingly poetic soul. But can love really bloom
between an old-school book lover and a man whose publicity-generating exaggerated tell-all memoir "Sex with
Strangers" chronicles his rambunctious sex-ploits on an internet blog?
First staged by Chicago's Steppenwolf theatre in 2011, and more recently at the STC and off-Broadway (starring
Anna Gunn of Breaking Bad fame), this is story telling at its best. Dark, sexy and funny Sex with Strangers delves
into the lives of two people equally capable of ambition, kindness and cruelty. Sex with Strangers makes timely
and insightful observations about the foibles of first impressions and about love and relationships in the digital
age.
How far will Olivia and Ethan go to get what they want?
