70 years after its premiere, the musical masterpiece Guys and Dolls continues to take audiences on a magical journey. Winner of five Tony Awards and hailed as “A perfect musical comedy” (New York Daily News) this electric reimagining by Antipodes Theatre Company will have audiences feeling the heat of Havana, the haze of the Hot Box, and the energy of New York City in a dynamic immersive event.
Embracing the “musical fable” of the title by reflecting the passion and politics of 2023, and showcasing the characters you know and love, this latest offering by Antipodes Theatre Company takes place entirely inside a prohibition-era nightclub. Audiences will revel in an evening of reckless abandon, visceral romance, and – above all – unwavering hope that society can embrace and support each other as our chosen family would.
Based on the short stories of Damon Runyon and featuring such classic songs as Luck Be a Lady, Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat and Adelaide’s Lament, Antipodes Theatre Company invites audiences to join them at Melbourne’s iconic Chapel Off Chapel this August for a production that’s primed to be a highlight of the Musical Theatre season!
Launching in 2019, Antipodes Theatre Company seeks to provide a collaborative and inclusive environment for producing independent theatre in Melbourne. They strive to maintain an inclusive and safe workspace with productions that have a dedicated focus on working with women, ethnically diverse artists, people with disability, trans and non-binary people, seniors, and other members of historically or culturally marginalised communities who are not well represented on stage.
