Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at Royal Albert Hall

Why see Guys and Dolls?

Heading to the Royal Albert Hall!

Roll up, roll up the titanic musical, Guys and Dolls, is heading to the Royal Albert Hall! The classic romp is given the concert treatment this October as it lifts the roof off the iconic venue for three performances only.

With West End veteran Stephen Mear set to direct/choreograph and the The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra in the pit, this sizzling musical makes a welcome return to the capital. This semi-staged production will transport you to streets of New York full of gangsters, gamblers and show girls along with some of the biggest tunes in musical theatre, including 'Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat', 'Luck be a Lady' and 'My Time of Day'.

What is Guys and Dolls about?

Set during the Great Depression Guys and Dolls tells the story of a pair of big city gamblers and their trouble with love.

Groundbreaking

Just the three visits for me, all immersive, and planning more. As a seasoned theatre goer I've never left a theatre on such a high, Mormon, Hamilton....etc...all excellent but this just raises the bar, took me days to recover. I now have the cast recording to keep me going in between visits! Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen on stage/stages, you get so involved, you know the characters and I got to dance (briefly) with Miss Adelaide at the end. The entire production is utterly magnificant and the design/layout at the Bridge theatre has set the standard. ... Read more

Absolutely brilliant!

I'm not a great fan of musicals tbh, but this production of Guys and Dolls at the Bridge theatre was terrific. The vocals, particularly by Cedric, were stunning. The cast seemed to be really enjoying the performance and this was truly infectious. Would highly recommend this fantastic immersive experience. ... Read more

Easily the best thing I've ever seen

Easily the best thing I’ve ever seen. I had an immersive ticket and would recommend this - try to stand near the middle - incredibly exciting, I was grinning from start to finish. Acting, choreography, singing, live band - all mwah mwah mwah. You even get to dance at the end. It’s utterly irresistible, every song’s a banger and VOICES people - talent everywhere you look. Yes I loved the *rocking* rocking the boat number and everything that Adelaide sings, and the crazy night in Havana - who doesn’t love pure sass on a stick? But for me, the More I cannot give you song was the loveliest moment - such a cute dad figure. I doubt you’ll be able to get a ticket any more, but if you can you’ll be saying ‘I do’ all the way. ...
