Is this Patrick Swayze playing the role of Nathan Detroit ?

[katieoffer]

It's the best Adeliade - Lynsey Britton!!!!

[polaremily]

I am sure it's not Jane Krakowski....

Could somebody tell me the full name of "Zipper" who acted in this play?

[katieoffer]

Do you mean Zippy? If so then his full name is Jo Servi.

[tigerwoman]

Thanks. I recieved his autograph after the show last summer & I wanted to know his name. He seemed like a nice guy to talk to.

[ruthiefanfelix]

[ciaranhaggerty]

[renethel]

i did this musical and this song wasn't in it! was it added just for the london production only???

[robinvalerie]

Often dont get the rights to certain of the songs - the most popular ones when we do school or community theatre production. EG this one - or in Cabaret - Maybe this time and Mein Herr, and in Grease - for many years you were not allowed to do You're the one that I want, Grease, Hopelessly Devoted to You. Its a bit irritating as the last thing one wants to do is disappoint ones audience.Loved this show in London - Patrick S - not the best singer lovely dancer. This clip brought back memories.

No: This song was !definitely! in the original Broadway STAGE production (1950). It was also in the 1955 film. Sinatra & Vivian Blaine sang this duet in the movie, as Nathan & Miss Adelaide.

It is frequently incorrectly referred to as 'Adelaide, Adelaide', but is actually entitled 'Sue Me'.

For info, search for 'Guys and Dolls' at Wikipedia & at the official Frank Loesser website (fr...lo...DOTcom). [WHY won't YouTube let us post URLs here?! It's so frustrating!! Grrrr!!]

It may have been cut in your version to shorten the length of the performance. This decision to exclude/include a song is common in both prof & amateur productions. I once played a role that was so big - with the character having long lines to learn, and in every scene in the play! - that the 'director' split the role i.e. with me playing the character half of the play, and the other half played by s/o else. Mind you, we were at primary school, & were only 11 years old! ,-)

Ciao!

See best video at YouTube for the song "Sue Me": Guys and Dolls (1955) - Sue Me (with lead-in dialogue) 21/23 (N..B. The song starts mid-way through the video, after the lead-in, at c. 2mins15secs. I reckon it's one of the best versions of the song on YouTube as the resolution of the video is great - film quality! - and the lead-in sets the scene/reason for the song.)

Ciao!
