BRODWAY IN PARIS GUYS AND DOLLS

It is a monument of the musical on the other side of the Atlantic since the 50's never played in France.

It was not until the recent reopening of the Théâtre Marigny, and the audacity of its director Jean-Luc Choplin, to discover this masterpiece of Broadway.

Two theaters have a bit of Broadway singing in Paris.

The Mogador Theater annually raises the success of Anglo-Saxon music.

Programming is never wrong with Mamma Mia !, Sister Act, The Lion King, Grease or Chicago.

In the first half of the season, Théâtre Marigny put Jacques Demy's Peau d'Âne in more than magical settings.

And now Guys and Dolls, showing from March 13 to July 27. In Manhattan, however, it has been played since the 1950s.

At the time of its creation, the play had even won five Tony Awards, the Oscars of Drama.

The story is simple: Nathan Detroit (Christopher Howell), a gambling den, challenges Sky Masterson (Matthew Goodgame), an inveterate bettor, to seduce Sarah Brown (Clare Halse), a young Save-a-Soul missionary, kind of Salvation Army.

He must succeed in inviting this girl to Havana, or he will have to pay 1000 dollars.

The whole plot is based on the confrontation of these two worlds:

that of bad boys, robbers in three-piece suits and big cigars, versus that of young girls in flower who dream only of happy marriage.

Guys and Dolls a little condensed with joy and good humor. The magic of Broadway operates!

On display from March 13 to July 27.
