Setting

New York City by way of Damon Runyon

Welcome

A Note From the Director

“When the smell of the rain-washed pavement comes up clean and fresh and cold and the street lamp light fills the gutter with gold” —Frank Loesser

This urban poetry glorifies a version of New York City that exists only in an elevated theatrical imagination—we are in Runyonland—the environs of Guys and Dolls inspired by the Depression era stories of Damon Runyon, but brilliantly transfigured by Frank Loesser and Abe Burrows into a “musical fable” set in their 1950 present, opening to smash reviews on Broadway, winning the Tony for Best Musical, and running for 1200 performances. There are few musicals as sturdily constructed, as tuneful, as funny. Does this show exist in a somewhat more sexist time prior to ours where women are referred to as “Dolls?” Yes. Is the show heteronormative and does it lean into certain gender stereotypes? Unquestionably yes.

So you may ask why now? Because Guys and Dolls is perhaps the Great American Musical— and sometimes for the form to progress and change, it’s important to see its foundations. With a double love plot and boatload of loveable gangsters and gamblers, the show has been a favorite of amateur and regional productions—yet outings with stars of the caliber we have been lucky enough to entice down to the Kennedy Center have been relatively rare. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve seen one perfect production of Guys and Dolls in my lifetime—the Jerry Zaks directed 1992 revival—the production whose 22-piece Michael Starobin orchestrations we use tonight. Yet that production was now unbelievably 30 years ago (more believable in that I saw it first on a high school band trip!)

A new generation is ready to fall in love with Nathan, Sky, the long-suffering “well known fiancée” Adelaide and the missionary Sarah Brown who, unlike their female protagonist counterparts in other shows of the same period, end up getting what they want very much on their own terms. The Guys may think they’ve got it all figured out, but it’s the smarter Dolls who come out on top. In casting this Kennedy Center production, we’ve taken care to make sure to reflect our diverse world onstage. Musicals are the American art form, and we should all be part of telling this American story.

Thus my intention for this trip to Runyonland is less an exercise in nostalgia and more one of rediscovery. Not reinvention per se—I have too much respect for the achievement of this piece to be presumptuous with a “concept” production. But rediscovery in letting us find the piece anew. Even if we no longer live in the 1950s, the humanity of these characters feels timeless, the musical comedy joy unparalleled, and I hope we all have something to learn from the way the souls of these characters are healed and transformed by love. Because amidst all the flash of Times Square, there’s a beating heart filled with aspiration, hope, and faith ready to be profoundly changed by “chance and chemistry.”

Marc Bruni

A Note From the Producer

Welcome to today’s performance of Guys and Dolls! I am so grateful to welcome you back to a new season of Broadway Center Stage at the Kennedy Center. When this series launched in 2017, our productions were conceived as semi-staged concerts of iconic Broadway shows. I am thrilled to share that starting this season, Broadway Center Stage will be presented as fully staged musicals. This evolution is a direct response to the enthusiasm of our audiences and the desire of our casts and creative teams to deliver the best Broadway-quality shows to you.

We are happily launching our fourth season with a joyous Guys and Dolls; and I wanted to share a little “behind the scenes” peek into the creation of these shows. This series is truly unique. Each Broadway Center Stage production rehearses in New York City for two weeks. During this time, the show is put together, complete with choreography, music, props, stage direction and more. Then, the cast and creatives arrive in Washington DC and spend three days to complete the technical process of adding lights, set, costumes and sound (including live musicians from the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra) onstage in the Eisenhower Theater. It is a remarkable achievement of what is created so quickly, and it is all due to the amazing dedication of our artists, casts, creative teams, and the Kennedy Center staff all working together to create these one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences.

On a personal note, I feel deeply honored to have launched the Broadway Center Stage series at the Kennedy Center, and to present this astonishing level of talent on our stage year after year. Before starting any project, I always ask myself the same question: “Would I buy a ticket to see this show?” For the cast, company and creative team of Broadway Center Stage: Guys and Dolls, my answer is “absolutely yes!” I hope you feel the same, and that you experience the same amount of joy that our entire team experienced while creating this show for you.

Upcoming Broadway Center Stage

Broadway Center Stage: Sunset Boulevard

FEB. 1 - 8, 2023

Alone in her Hollywood mansion with little more than celluloid memories, former silent-screen goddess Norma Desmond remains what she has always been: the greatest star of all. For Broadway Center Stage, Tony-winning powerhouse Stephanie J. Block takes on the iconic role. Based on the 1950 film noir, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s masterpiece weaves a compelling tale of romance, obsession, and faded glory.

<i>Broadway Center Stage: Sunset Boulevard</i>

Broadway Center Stage: Kiss of the Spider Woman

May 12 - 21, 2023

Winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a compelling tale of oppression into a dazzling spectacle with Kander and Ebb’s luminous score. Cell mates in an Argentinean prison, rugged revolutionary Valentin and persecuted gay man Molina take mental refuge in movie-musical memories of the glamourous diva Aurora—but reverie and reality soon begin to blur.
