Guys and Dolls


First rehearsal with the orchestra. That's me in the white shirt! I was asked to sit in the back corner because, as the Musical Director said,  You might scare the band.
Good view of the theatre from the spot light booth.
Rehearsal

Listening as Sister Sarah preaches to the crowd in Runyonland. The stage hands forgot to make this cheezy sign til literally the last minute...Can you tell?!   PS: It's glued onto a Home Depot stir stick.



Telling Sarah I know she's in love with Sky. The wardrobe madame messed up and sewed Sergeant stripes on my coat, instead of Lindsey's -- and then I refused to wear the stewardess cap!  And then she 'forgot' to lower my coat sleeves. #doesn'thappenonBroadway


Arvide Abernathy; Leader of the Save A Soul Mission chorus

Adding harmony to Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat.


Sky Masterson trying to BS Arivde
















Maybe a little too much rouge on the schnoz??  I was going for the "Drunk Irish" look
Singing, Follow The Fold
Crap Shooters Dance

Sarah and Arvide: Blue sailor suit and brown shoes?  It's OK, I'm from Milwaukee!
Singing, More I Cannot Wish You.  Funny story; When the sound guy forgot to turn off Lindsey's mic, my voice had reverb like Darth Vader
Adelaide and the Hot Box chorus girls, Take Back Your Mink
Adelaide belts out her lament... a bad, bad, cold!


Giving Sky Masterson and the Mugs my advice.  You can see them checking their coat sleeves! (my shirt, brought from the casa, is 36". Costume coat sleeve is 32". baahahahaha!)
Thank you and drive safely!
I felt bad for Nancy. She took bows with me. She was an innocent victim. She knew the audience applause was muted as a final criticism for my short sleeves and wearing brown shoes. You can see me hunching over, trying to make it less obvious.
