The Perfect Musical Comedy - GUYS AND DOLLS Comes To Singapore For The 1st Time!

| |
Hi Huneybees,


GUYS AND DOLLS! Listen up! It's time for another season of amazing musical and fun nights as  “The show that defines Broadway dazzle!” --- The New York Times, is coming to Singapore for the FIRST TIME!!!

Set to play at The MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands from 28 August 2015, the perfect musical comedy is here for a limited season as GUYS AND DOLLS celebrates Broadway's golden era with one of the greatest scores ever written for a musical by the legendary Frank Loesser.


GUYS AND DOLLS originally conquered Broadway in 1951 with over 1200 performances and winning 5 Tony® Awards including Best New Musical In 1992 and the musical again bagged 4 Tony® Awards including Best Revival of a Musical.  Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, GUYS AND DOLLS' success on Broadway also had Hollywood following in its footsteps with a 1955 film adaptation starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine

Christopher Swan as Nathan Detroit and Lauren Weinberg as Miss Adelaide in the National Tour of GUYS AND DOLLS.
The storyline is based in New York, on small time gambler Nathan Detroit who needs to find a place to host his card game but has no money to pay for the venue. Nathan challenges a garage owner Sky Masterson to take Sarah Brown, a virtuous female missionary,  out on a date in return for the use of the venue.  Despite some resistance, Sky negotiates a date with her in exchange for bringing people into her mission. Sky and Sarah end up falling in love and in a bad turn of events, the bet between Nathan and Sky is revealed.
GUYS AND DOLLS takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” The show features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,”the exuberant “If I Were a Bell” and the classic “Luck be a Lady.”
Kayleen Seidl as Sarah Brown and the Cast of the National Tour of GUYS AND DOLLS.
Bustling with gamblers, gangsters, and sassy showgirls this musical has introduced audiences to a cast of characters who have become legends in the musical theatre world:  Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evil-doers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet to Cuba and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating cards game.
GUYS AND DOLLS features some of Frank Loesser’s toe-tapping score, masterfully witty book and lyrics by Joe Swerling and comedy legend Abe Burrows, and the glorious Damon Runyon’s comic book world of 1940s Times Square New York City.

Men's Fashion Week 2012 - Spencer Hart

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Men's Fashion Week 2012 kickstarted last night with Spencer Hart's Collection on the runway. Spencer Hart's from UK and has been launched since 2002.


Nick Hart of Spencer Hart is a true blue David Bowie fan and attributes much of his inspiration and success to the English musician. With a label which evolved completely out of music, Nick channels certain iconic individuals and seminal cultural periods into savvy menswear.


His ideas were shaped early on by watching Sinatra play at age nine before seeing Bowie perform as The Thin White Duke. Spencer Hart's popularity speaks for itself - housed on the prestigious Savile Row and seen on the likes of Robbie Williams, P.Diddy, Orlando Bloom, Alex Turner and Dominic West - there's a certain dapper aura surrounding any male in one of his suits.

Perhaps we can learn from the style mantra of the designer himself as Nick believes 'less is more''; find a style that suits you and just stick to it.






 
 
 



 














 And that's a wrap. Thank you to Spencer Hart for such fine suits. I always love a man in suit...
