Broadway's 'Guys And Dolls' Shuttering This Sunday

NEW YORK — Those raffish Damon Runyon residents of Times Square are closing up shop.

Producer Howard Panter says the Broadway revival of "Guys and Dolls" will fold Sunday after a run of 113 performances.

The production of the Frank Loesser (LESS'-er) musical based on a Runyon short story features Oliver Platt as the perennial gambler Nathan Detroit and Lauren Graham as his long-suffering girlfriend, Miss Adelaide.

A national tour is planned for the 2010-2011 season. Said Panter: "We're excited that audiences across the country will have the opportunity to see the greatest American musical comedy."

"Guys and Dolls" was the second production blanked at Sunday's Tony Awards to announced it was shutting. Producers of "reasons to be pretty" said Monday the play would close at the end of the week.

I saw it a few months ago. Not really my cup of tea. Definitely not the "greatest American musical comedy."
