Manchester Gets it First will see the acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre production of Guys and Dolls arrive at the Palace Theatre for two weeks from November 10-21.
It’s part of theatre group ATG’s commitment to Manchester, a scheme which aims to launch more shows at the company’s city centre theatres.
Sophie Thompson and Jamie Parker will reprise their roles as Miss Adelaide and Sky Masterson and will be joined on stage by David Haig as Nathan Detroit and Siobhan Harrison as Sarah Brown. Thompson and Haig perform together for the first time since their comic pairing as bride and groom Lydia and Bernard in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
A joyous celebration of Prohibition-era New York, Guys and Dolls first premièred on Broadway in 1950 and captured the energy of post-World War Two America.
