Hey folks ... I just got word I'm going to be performing in a concert version of "Guys and Dolls" in August. We're bringing in Eddie Mekka from "Laverne and Shirley" to play Nathan Detroit, but the rest of the cast is local.
I play Arvide Abernathy, and I get to sing this Irish ditty:

I'll post a link to the home page for the show once the cast list is final. :up:

It slightly awkward to tell you to break a leg, but I'm going to do it anyway. As a vet of numerous shows myself, knock 'em dead and tear down the house!:up:

woot!!! Arvide eh.. I played him, great song too. The director of the Lyric Theater here in Stuart is John Lessor, son of the playwright. They did a kids version some years ago and Johns daughter auditioned for Big Jule.. in Top hat and cane, all of 7 years old she tore down the house. Anyway, it is a great show and I know you will have a good time. The pisser for me was I am to old to play the lead and Lord knows I want to sing Luck be a Lady on stage. During auditions I sang that song and our director looked over at Jarrod and told him it's a good thing you are young and pretty otherwise Marty would have taken your role right here.
with a sheeps eye, and a licorice tooth.. break a leg brother, this ones fun!dolphindebby, DrAstroZoom and Fin D like this. -

Cool Doc. If they ever do a musical for 'The Big Lebowski', you've a got a role locked up.

Doc, in all seriousness, and no intent to insult in any way. I am curious, do you use your "everyday" chair, or do you have a special "Stage/Acting" chair?
I ask, because this matches so well to the Stage and set, and seems in pristine condition???DrAstroZoom likes this. -
That's actually my everyday wheelchair. The color is a little off in the picture: the framework acutally matches Dolphin aqua. (Well, it's a little more teal than that, but it's as close as I could come.) :up:
I have used antique wheelchairs in the past, but was able to use my regular chair for this part, since it was technically a concert version of the show.
Good question! And absolutely no offense taken.BigDogsHunt likes this.
