Darius is listed alongside nigel harman, jonathon wilkes and ben richards as [playing the leading part of sky masterson in the guys and dolls tour. I think this has only just been put on the official site so it doesnt state which places he will be playing.

He is doing liverpool and edinburgh only.

interesting, god how I hate Johnathon Wilks though, now he IS cheesey!!!!!

Presumably this is why he is not appearing at dressed to kilt in new york.

probably, it sure is great news. perhaps he is working his way upto the part of Ret Butler if they do that musical, becasue I really can see him as that part.

 

a new blog is up on myspace announcing darius in Guy and Dolls!

I don't know if I can get cover for my father-in-law. My husband is away at the moment, so I can't check. I'd hate to miss this. I loved Patrick Swazye in it, I would love to see Darius doing it.

This sounds good. Hope things go well for Darius

I think this is good - as long as it doesn't get in the way of his own music - that's what started me supporting him. With it being hundreds of miles from London, maybe more people will get a chance to see him.

:yahoo: I'm so excited its so close to where I live :yahoo:

Do you think he will call round for a cuppa? :dance:

Not so good for me living in devon especially as guys and dolls was at plymouth in january but ben richards was Sky masterson and bonnie langford was the female lead, would have gone then if D had been in it. Shame baytree hasnt been on she will be thrilled so close for her.

:cry: Can't believe he's at Liverpool and I'm away....I'm beginning to think he doesn't like my company :o

some one fill me in, wil D be singing Luck be a lady.

I have no idea about this muscial or Sky and can't get any clues online form their site.

I have to say I can hear D's rich vocals in his american accent singing Luck be a lady tonight - I mean we all heard how well he does this type of genre at maidstone with Fly me to the moon, moondance and the like.

cant wat to see if we get any photos of him in character.

having seen some reviews and pics from broadway etc I can really see Shaun as nathen, it is a shame it is so far away from me, as it does sound a good comedy musical, and Darius as "smooth talking" but at the same time a gentleman, Sky does seem apt.

 

 

this isnt an april the 1st joke is it??!!

It is very apt PIP. as soon as he came out of chicago my thoughts were of another part and this part was it. I have seen guys and dolls some time ago. It is all good acting experience and there is no reason why his music should suffer it is only for just over two weeks. It is much needed exposure especially outside london and back on home turf as it were.

:cry: Can't believe he's at Liverpool and I'm away....I'm beginning to think he doesn't like my company :o

When we saw G&D in London, we decided that Sky would be the best role for him. It's nice that they agree with us.

I found this about the West End 'Guys and Dolls'

London Guys and Dolls Sets Closing Date

Michael Grandage's West End production of Guys and Dolls will finish its run after nearly two years on April 14.

 

"Miami Vice" star Don Johnson is currently leading the cast in the role of Nathan Detroit. Johnson is scheduled to finish his extended run in the production on March 31.

 

Grandage's revival of Frank Loesser's classic musical opened at the Piccadilly Theatre on June 1, 2005, with Ewan McGregor and Jane Krakowski as, respectively, Sky Masterson and Miss Adelaide.

 

Grandage recently revealed plans for a 2008 New York version of the production.

 

The original Broadway production of Guys and Dolls opened at the 46th Street Theatre in November 1950, running for 1,200 performances before closing Nov. 28, 1953. Among the premiere cast were Robert Alda as Sky Masterson, Isabel Bigley as Sarah Brown, Sam Levene as Nathan Detroit and Vivian Blaine as Miss Adelaide. Blaine re-created her role for the 1955 film, which also starred Marlon Brando as Sky, Jean Simmons as Sarah Brown and Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit.

It seems that 'Grease' is taking over the theatre.

My thoughts on that write up is that Patrick swayze is a very good dancer!!! Also don johnson as nathan detroit - Sean williamson isnt quite the look of don johnson but he is a good singer. Am just glad that D appears to have two good females opposite him and not clare sweeney. It is a lot of rehearsing for a short run but the american accent from chicago will be easy unless its a different style.

I have to say if nathan is the chubby one I have seen in the pics - then Shaun looks the part

mind you that poster of Darius with a hand of Poker does seem a very Sky type pose from what I read of the gambling in G&D

all he needs is a tribly at a cocky angle

I can't remember who sang what. Patrick was Nathan and his dancing and acting was good and the singing OK. It'll be really interesting to see how D manages the dancing. Sky does less than Nathan, but he is involved in a couple of big numbers. His voice should be perfect for this. As should his stage presence, he can dominate a stage. It's a shame he's not doing more locations. Local to me would be really nice.

I could see Sean williamson as Amos in chicago but am a bit surprised that he has a bigger part although he is a very experienced actor and has a quite interesting past.
