Guys and Dolls announces brand new star to join the cast of the hit show
Patrick Swayze the star of the original cult classic movie Dirty Dancing, is to make his West End stage debut in the hit show Guys and Dolls.
On the 10th July the Piccadilly theatre, current home to the sensational musical Guys and Dolls, will open its doors to the man who had every women in the country dirty dancing in their living rooms in the summer of 1987. Patrick Swayze will reprieve the role of Nathan Detroit from current actor Neil Morrissey, joining the award winning cast until the show departs on tour in January.
Joining Swayze on stage for eight weeks before going on tour with the West End show is former Brookside star Claire Sweeney. Sweeney will take the role of Miss Adelaide, Nathan Detroits long suffering girlfriend, replacing current West End actress Sally Ann Triplett.
Guys and Dolls is the whimsical tale of a bet made between two friends - Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson. Set in New York in the 1950's, the upbeat musical has proved a hit with audiences and critics alike, receiving two Laurence Olivier Awards this year as well as extending its run more than twice since it first opened in London's West End.
