Style Note for Guys and Dolls
We’re aiming for a more contemporary, jazz-inflected, swung approach to some of the music—one that hints at a grittier New York City atmosphere while maintaining a vibrant, jazzy energy. In the room, we encourage you to explore and play with the tone of the material in this spirit. As a reference point, please check out the 1976 production of the show.
