Guys and Dolls: and Other Stories (Penguin Modern Classics)

Product Information

Sarah and Adelaide run into each other, and they commiserate and then resolve to marry their men anyway and reform them later ("Marry the Man Today"). A few weeks later, Nathan owns a newsstand and has officially closed the crap game. Sky, who is now married to Sarah, works at the mission band and has also stopped gambling. The characters celebrate as Nathan and Adelaide are married ("Guys and Dolls (Finale/Reprise)"). When Nathan tells Sarah that Sky lost the Cuba bet, which she knows he won, she hurries off to make up with him. It all ends with a double wedding in the middle of Times Square, with Sky marrying Sarah, and Nathan marrying Adelaide. Eyre, Richard (1982). "Directing the National Theatre Guys and Dolls".

Frank Loesser ( Music and Lyrics) has been called the most versatile of all Broadway composers. Each of his five Broadway musicals — Where’s Charley?, Guys and Dolls, The Most Happy Fella, Greenwillow, and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying —is endowed with its own unique sound and style.Poi in grato ricordo del film con Marlon Brando, anche se ho scoperto con un milligrammo di disappunto che la storia del film occupa solo il primo capitolo del libro (l'hanno gonfiata un bel po' per farle raggiungere delle dimensioni da film). Il libro è come una serie di telefilm a episodi, e bisogna amare il genere: io in genere, più che i racconti a breve respiro, amo le architetture complesse.
