AUDITIONS | Rogue Productions

IN CONCERT

Rogue Productions is looking to cast its upcoming production of Guys & Dolls in Fredericton, NB. Seeking Non-Union and CAEA talent (DOT Agreement available for certain roles and honorarium provided for Non-Union talent).

SYNOPSIS

Often hailed as Broadway’s perfect musical, Guys and Dolls is a high-stakes tale of love, luck, and laughter set in the dazzling world of 1950s New York. Big-time gambler Sky Masterson bets he can make strait-laced Salvation Army reformer Sarah Brown fall for him, but his heart may be the one on the line. Meanwhile, lovable hustler Nathan Detroit struggles to keep his infamous floating crap game afloat while juggling his long-suffering fiancée, Miss Adelaide. Featuring classic showstoppers like “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” “Luck Be a Lady,” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” this five-time Tony Award-winning musical is a timeless crowd-pleaser bursting with charm, wit, and unforgettable tunes.
