The leads of the play consisted of two separate love stories. The first is between high-roller Sky Masterson and Save-A-Soul Mission Sargent Sarah Brown. Their relationship begins as a bet but spontaneously turns real in Havana, Cuba. The other love story occurs between compulsive gambler Nathan Detroit and Hot Box Dancer Miss Adelaide, who have been engaged for 14 years while Nathan is stalls their wedding.

Haley Butina – “Miss Adelaide”

2. What was your favorite scene in the show? 

The Crapshooters Valet was a very cool scene, but I also really enjoyed performing “Sue Me” with Adam.

I am so happy that I decided to participate in the musical this year. It was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. I’d like to thank all of m friends that dragged me into it and also director Mrs. Volpe, and musical director Mrs. Harris for taking a chance on me.

Jake Makdad – “Benny Southwest”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

When the curtain stopped closing at the end of the show Saturday, you could see the majority of the cast. And Sean threw his hat and exploded in excitement, even though the crowd could see him. He didn’t care.

Easily the Sewer Scene. The thing about the guys in the cast is that we were just having fun up there. I felt like we were just messing around.

Mrs. Harris is my hero, first things first. I’ll miss the show, because we don’t have the chance to do it again.

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The people. It was a great cast and I always had fun no matter what we were doing.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’m so proud of what we put out there. We worked so hard for so long and I really think that it showed. We had great chemistry and a lot of talent. I think this will be remembered for a while.

Canasta. I loved coming out of those doors knowing Nicely-Nicely Johnson (Mark Lewis) would push me over and someone would drag me offstage.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I wish we would do one every year and more people would be involved!

 Tyler Eaken

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Working with different people throughout the high school. It made my first high school production very enjoyable.

My favorite scene was the crap game in the sewer, because the ballet was so much fun and we got to sing “Luck Be a Lady.”

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

It’s sad now that the show is all over after so much practice, but I had so much fun doing this and entertaining a crowd for two nights. I can’t wait until we do the next show.

 Dakota Cowfer

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The most memorable part of Guys & Dolls was hanging out and getting to know the cast and show week, because that’s when everything came together so smoothly and felt so incredible.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

My favorite scene was the Hot Box, because it was such an entertaining part of the show to hear the songs and watch the dances.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Post show thoughts would be that it went perfectly and it was so much fun and it’s really sad to come to realize that it’s over. We worked so hard for two nights, and I just wish there was more of it.

The Hot Box Girls consisted of very talented young ladies who could dance, sing, and look super cute all at the same time!

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The Havana scene.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’m really going to miss it, but I’m excited to see what we’re going to do in the future.

 Gina Gavazzi 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

I can’t really single out one memory from Guys and Dolls. The experience as a whole was memorable.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

It would have to be a tie between “Take Back Your Mink”, and the “Canasta!” scene. I loved dancing in “Take Back Your Mink”, and we all had to be really sassy, which was fun. But “Canasta” was really fun for me to watch. Seeing Zac Slate wipe out on stage is something you can’t compete with.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’d just like to thank the cast for making this such a fun experience, and also sow some recognition to all the people who work behind the scenes. I’m so glad we had such a successful show! To anyone considering getting involved in a musical, DO IT! You will have a blast!

 Davina Lee

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Definitely seeing everything come together on stage and hearing the crowd’s reaction.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

I liked “Havana” because it challenged me dance-wise. I also enjoyed “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat”. It was a fun scene. 

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I was apprehensive going into this because I don’t really have singing experience and I had never been a part of a musical before. After experiencing everything, I realized how fun musicals can be. I really loved being a part of “Guys and Dolls”. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

 Sarah Isenberg 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

My dress continually popping open on stage and having to hold it up in curtain call!

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

I definitely loved “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat”. It was pretty funny and I loved hitting the high C at the end of the song!

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I have post-musical depression! I keep thinking, “Oh, I have musical practice tonight!” Then I remember it’s over and I get let down.

 Lauren Swayne

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Spending time with the cast, and making new memories.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

The Hot Box scenes.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

The Mission Band consisted of a group of pristine young ladies who all volunteered at the Save-A-Soul Mission, working with Sargent Sarah Brown to spread the word of God to the sinners throughout the city.

Paige Umholtz – “General Matilda B. Cartwright”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Getting to know and develop friendships with people that I probably wouldn’t have talked to. Also, all the inside jokes that I have with people now that no one else will understand. 

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

Probably Act 2 Scene 5, where my character finds out that the gamblers were only at the prayer meeting because of gambling. She just thinks it’s WONDERFUL.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’m so glad that I decided to try out for the show! It’s one of those high school memories that I will never forget! I can’t rave enough about the rest of the cast and how amazing they are! Especially my hand shake buddy! Please, when the next musical comes around, if you are thinking about trying out, DO IT. You will be glad that you did!

 Carrie Vance – “Agatha”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

My favorite memory was ruling New York in the Mission Band with my friends. Also when Adam proposed to Sean during the dress rehearsal.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene was when I got the coffee for Arvide, Sarah, and Sky. Mostly because my tray had a cat on it and I secretly showed the crowd.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I am really glad I was a part of this musical. I made several new friends and grew closer to the ones I already had. I gained a new respect for theater. And I’m proud of the production we showed the crowd.

Erin McKenna

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Making new friends and the Friday and Saturday night show

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

The crapshooter’s sewer scene.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

After my experience I will definitely be trying out for another musical!

Desiree Sparks

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The most memorable part of Guys & Dolls was after the shows each night as soon as the curtain had closed. Everyone jumped and yelled that we had done such an amazing job.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene of the musical was “Happy Ending”, or the finale. I liked this the most because everyone sang together in a fun way where the crowd could feel and see the smiles on the casts’ faces. 

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I have more time on my hands now but I will always be humming the songs of the show in my head.

Lily Williams 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Show week. It was crazy to realize that all hard work and time we put in was finally paying off and everything was running smoothly. We couldn’t wait to perform!

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene was the Crapshooter’s Ballet. It was the coolest dance and definitely the most entertaining.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’m so proud of everyone for what we’ve done! It’s bittersweet though. Practice has been such a huge part of our lives, and I’m sad that it’s over. It went by too fast.

Sarah Diller

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Dancing backstage! I hope the audience didn’t notice!

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

The Crapshooter’s Ballet.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Because I’m moving this summer and this is my last show with Tyrone. I just have to say to the entire cast and everyone involved with the music department, thank you so much and I will miss all of you.

Shania Kennedy

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The most memorable part of Guys & Dolls was show week and the show itself. Everyone was so excited and nervous, and that made things more fun.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene of the musical was “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat” because it was fun and interesting to see how everyone grew as actors and singers. We all worked hard individually on our respective characters, and it was worth it when we all came together for such a unique scene. 

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I think everyone did extremely well, and I’m proud of the whole cast. All of us worked extremely hard, and that’s what made the show really great. I’m happy that it’s over, because now I have more free time and less stress. Overall though, I’m sad because a musical is unique opportunity that doesn’t come along very often for most people.. I made tons of new friends, and I’m definitely glad that I auditioned back in January.

Brooke Cox 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The experience and making friendships with people you weren’t with before.

“Luck Be a Lady”

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Can we do it one more time? I miss it!

Rae Bonsell

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

I believe that the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls was getting to watch the leads–Hope, Sean, Haley, Adam and Mark–develop and evolve. Watching them memorize their songs and lines and just grow with their talent is something I won’t forget being witness to.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene to watch develop was the Crapshooters Ballet, and “Luck Be a Lady”. My favorite scene to perform was “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat”.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

The show was a lot of fun and I really don’t regret auditioning. Everybody is so talented and fun to be around. I’m going to miss this experience.

Some of the older roles were beautifully portrayed by our guest stars:  teachers at Tyrone High School.

Mr. Funicelli – “Lieutenant Brannigan”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys &  Dolls?

The new brotherhood that has now been formed by the members of the cast. We have this experience and many new inside jokes that are only shared between us.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

Act 1, Scene 7, where Lt. Brannigan interrogates the crapshooters and gets Nathan and Adelaide to agree to elope.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I’m so glad I agreed to be in the musical, because of the memories taken away from the show. They will last until I am old, old, old man.

Mr. McNitt – “Arvide”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys &  Dolls?

Favorite incident: When Nathan Detroit slipped up in his delivery and proposed marriage to Sky Masterson.

Overall favorite memory: Spending time with and getting to know all of the students as well as Mrs. Harris, Mr. Funicelli and Mr. Feather.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

When Arvide and Sarah have their tender moment together as grandfather and granddaughter.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Like many of us, I’m glad to get my life back but I will miss the camaraderie of the cast.  They are an amazing group of students and I’m sure I’ll never forget their energy, creativity and compassion.

Mr. Feather – “Joey Biltmore”

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys &  Dolls? 

The most memorable part of Guys & Dolls was having the chance to see the camaraderie that developed among the cast members after months of rehearsals.

2. What was your favorite scene of the show?

My favorite scene of the show was the Sewer Scene for two reasons. First, my art students spent many hours on it. It was the most elaborate set in the show. Second, I enjoyed the dance sequence and Sean’s singing of “Luck Be a Lady”.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

For many of these students it will be a memory that stands out the most among all of their high school memories.

The ensemble filled the roles of city-dwellers, Hot Box customers, and even sailors.

Erika Voyzey

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls? 

Show night. Going to practice 24/7.  I got to see the slow progress of the finished project. A few minutes before the curtain opened, everyone put on their game faces and all the time and effort everyone put into it really showed.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

Easily the Crapshooters Ballet followed by “Luck Be A Lady”.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Not going to lie, I’m going to miss participating in the show. However I’m really excited to get a good night’s sleep and have some free time.

Shelby Gantt 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

The most memorable part of Guys & Dolls for me would be when we first got to try on our costumes. Seeing how excited everyone was to see what their character was actually going to look like.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

My favorite scene of the show was “Adelaide’s Lament.” Haley did an amazing job on the song, and it was one of my favorite songs from the show.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

My post-show thoughts were all over the place and I was so nervous. The only thought that went through my head was “what if I fall off stage?!”

Azia Barnett 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

Zac Slate accidentally falling on stage on two of the most important nights, or Jamal and Mark’s side comments.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

My favorite scene had to be the Crapshooter’s Ballet. It’s not an every day occurrence that you get to see the uncoordinated male gender pull off such an intricate dance, it’s very impressive and enjoyable to watch. Not to mention, Sean always killed his song in the sewer and it just looked like everyone had a good time with it.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

Now that it’s over I am glad to have my free time back because the musical was a huge time commitment. But I’m so happy it happened, I think the cast killed it both nights. Lots of memories were made and we will cherish them forever.

Reagan Heidenthal

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

When Zac Slate ripped his pants coming offstage.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

The Crapshooters sewer scene.

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

I thought the show was amazing!

Nao Fujishima 

1. What was the most memorable part of Guys & Dolls?

When the curtain closed after the curtain call, suddenly everyone screamed and yelled out and hugged each other. I know that everyone was really stressed out and exhausted before the show, but at that moment, I bet every cast member felt nothing but just happy. I know each cast member has their own background stories behind this show (and I mean not only for the show), but I thought it was such a great thing to do one thing together and share happy moments together.

2. What was your favorite scene in the show?

My favorite scene was “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat” because most of the cast was on the stage and it’s one of the biggest numbers in this show. I had no idea what it was going to be like when the director told me that I’m going to be a “Devil”. But I think it was great However, all the cast members told me I would never be a devil haha!

3. What are your post-show thoughts?

The show was a great experience and I enjoyed every minute of it.
