Lights, dice, and show-stopping tunes are rolling into Salón Varietés Theatre as the iconic musical Guys and Dolls makes its dazzling debut on the Costa del Sol.
Starting on October 15th and continuing each evening through Sunday October 26th, this passionate revival will transport you back to the 1930s New York of high stakes romances, gambling antics, as well as Frank Loesser’s jazzy score.
The production, directed by Owain and Sarah Coombes with music direction by James Burn, and choreography from Alexandra Avery celebrates the 40th anniversary of the theatre in the most stylish way possible.
At the heart of the show is gambler Sky Masterson, who wagers his heart on strait-laced Salvation Army sergeant Sarah Brown, while promoter Nathan Detroit dodges his fiancée Adelaide to host the ultimate floating craps game. Guys and Dolls, a show filled with timeless songs like “Luck Be a Lady Tonight”, Sit Down You’re rocking the Boat” and If I Were a Bell”, brings sharp wit and heartfelt forgiveness.
The cast’s infectious energy and camaraderie, as glimpsed in behind-the-scenes glimpses shared by the Salón on their social media, “What fun the cast is having on this one!” The rehearsals were filled with laughter, improv and fun that captured the show’s escapist appeal. Drawing from Damon Runyon’s gritty short stories, the production echoes the original 1950 Broadway hit – a Tony Award winner for Best Musical that ran 1,200 performances and inspired a star-studded 1955 film with Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.
Shows begin every night at 7.30pm, except for Monday, Oct. 20, and Tuesday, Oct. 21. Tickets will set you back €25, so book fast, as Salón Varietés musicals tend to sell out in peak season.
Whether you’re a Broadway buff or seeking a glamorous night out in Fuengirola, Salón Varietés Guys and Dolls delivers timeless fun with a Mediterranean flair. Secure your seats now at Salón Varietés and let lady luck roll. Don’t miss why fans call it “the perfect musical” – your musical adventure awaits!
