A Musical Fable of Broadway
On November 16,2014 I attended my first musical fable of broadway, at the Fox Theater in Redwood City.The Fox Theater presented Guys and Dolls that evening. The musical was choreographed by Adrienne Waiters and Molly Bell. There is about twenty seven performers in the whole production and out of all of them the four main characters are Sarah Brown, Miss
Adelaide,Sky Masterson, and Nathan Detroit.
The musical takes place in New York City, Nathan Detroit runs an illegal crap game and he is in search of a location for the latest game.Luckily he found one location to rent which is the
Biltmore garage.It was offered to rent for 1,000 but Nathan is broke.Therefore, he proposes a bet to Sky Masterson. The bet was for Sky to take Sarah Brown the lady that led the SaveaSoul
Mission to Havana for dinner.Sky agreed and he gives a deal to Sarah; the deal was for him to bring one dozen sinners to her mission only if she went with him to Havana. Miss Adelaide is
Nathan’s fiancee she has been wanting to marry him for about fourteen years. Sky and Sarah are in love back from there dinner in Havana and all sinners attended the mission.Nathan lost the bet but yet he hosted his last crap game.It was his last because he finally married Miss.Adelaide and promised her he wouldn’t do it again.Sky and Sarah got married the same day as the other couple.Throughout the musical jazz and ballroom were the types of dances they performed.
The scene in the concert that certainly caught my attention was in Act I scene 8,
Havana,Cuba A Dive.When Sky and Sarah were dancing the chacha,it caught my attention because I learned that type of dance throughout my childhood which I can’t remember the last time I ever danced the chacha .Thats why I really enjoyed seeing and remembering those steps because that was my favorite dance growing up.
The dance scene that impressed me the most was in Act II
