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.

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?!”

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.

The Crapshooters sewer scene.
3. What are your post-show thoughts?
I thought the show was amazing!

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.
