The Chagrin Valley Little Theatre to Perform Guys & Dolls in Concert! from
October 3-5

Historic First Run in Northeast Ohio Features Full Concert Orchestra and
Veteran Theatre Performers

 

The Chagrin Valley Little Theatre announces that it will perform Guys &
Dolls in Concert!, for one weekend only, from October 3-5, 2008. In this
concert version of Frank Loesser's revered Broadway show, set design is
stripped away to make way for a full orchestra performing onstage with the
cast.  This historic run marks the first time that the concert version of
Guys & Dolls has been presented at a theater in Northeast Ohio.

 

Under the direction of Don Edelman, some of the area's finest performers
will sing classic songs from the musical, including "Luck be a Lady," "If I
Were a Bell," "Adelaide's Lament," and "I've Never Been in Love Before."
Returning to Cleveland to reprise their roles from the Theatre's original
run more than 35 years ago are Joanie (Mockrin) Levitt as Sarah Brown and
Frank Zeleznik as Sky Masterson.  Locals Frank Mularo and Sy Levine will
repeat their original roles as Nathan Detroit and Benny Southstreet,
respectively, and Carol Ernst will return to the Theatre's stage-four
decades after her last performance-to play Miss Adelaide.  "This show is
significant for the Theatre and our community. Not only is it the first
known run of the concert version of Guys & Dolls in the Cleveland area, but
it offers an unprecedented reunion of talented artists who have graced area
stages for more than 40 years," notes Mr. Edelman.

 

Stephen Eva, will conduct the concert orchestra and serve as the show's
musical director. Mr. Eva is renowned in the area for producing orchestra
concerts, particularly in his position as musical director and conductor for
the Hermit Club Symphony Orchestra-a position he has held for more than 25
years.

 

Guys & Dolls in Concert! will be performed on Friday, October 3 and
Saturday, October 4 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, October 5 at 2 p.m. Tickets for
all seats are $25. To precede the Sunday matinee on October 5, Gamekeeper's
Tavern will host a three-course, all-inclusive luncheon from 12-2 p.m. and
for $25 (show tickets sold separately). For additional information on Guys
and Dolls in Concert!, the Gamekeeper's luncheon or menu, or to order
