Guys and Dolls: Not your average high school performance

By Tavia Rzasa

Guys and Dolls, a play that has been produced for nearly 60 years, has come to Nashua High School South (NHSS). The NHSS Drama Club will be putting on the show as their senior class play for the class of 2009. Guys and Dolls is a classical musical that premiered on November 24, 1950 on Broadway.

Hoping to impress students and round up some more guests for this week’s upcoming shows, the NHSS Drama Club had previews for students. Some of the classes went down to the auditorium for about an 80 minute preview. During those 80 minutes, the Drama Club members performed a clip from their performance. The theme of the play is based on the 1950’s, as many of the locals are dressed in suits or dresses. It is easy to tell that the music is from the 50’s, though it is sung quite well.

If you are looking for a high-quality performance straight out of the 1950’s, this play is for you. The story of Nathan Detroit is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, and the songs are catchy enough to keep you singing along. Guys and Dolls is equivalent to a PG rated film and great for the whole family. The Drama Club is putting on their show this upcoming week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Getting into Guys and Dolls for only $10 is like a getting into a Broadway play for nearly $50 less.
