The stage is set and the players are warming up their vocal chords in readiness for Guys and Dolls, a musical show to be held at the Stanthorpe Little Theatre on 25 and 26 March.

Celebrating the Little Theatre’s 40th anniversary, the Guys and Dolls show follows the theme of Memories down some very different musical lanes, from Elvis to Andrew Lloyd Webber to Puccini.

Organiser Judy Flitcroft said the cast was prepared, the spotlights were ready to be switched on and all that was needed was a keen audience to come to the evening performance on Saturday 25 March at 7pm and the matinee the following day at 2pm.

Elvis (aka Charlie Patane) will be making a return from a previous show – yes, Elvis will be in the building! – and his real-life wife Marisa will glide onto stage to sing favourites from ’A Star is Born’ and ’The Greatest Showman’.

Christine Glockner, one of the original Guys and Dolls cast members, will sing the famed ‘Cats’ piece, ‘Memory’, and will also present ’Voi Che Sapete’ from ’The Marriage of Figaro’ in memory of her mother.

Judy said a free supper would be offered from the Little Theatre’s new kitchen. Tickets are on sale at Gracious Giving in High Street.
