MUSIC THEATRE OF CT HONORS THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY IN STORY AND SONG

Of course, you remember with affection the Frank Loesser musical that pits a gambling sinner Sky Masterson against a pious and pure Miss Sarah Brown, the head of the Save-A-Soul Mission in “Guys and Dolls.” Get ready for a gender flipping concert at Music Theatre of Connecticut where musical stars perform Broadway tunes that are traditionally sung by the opposite sex. Eight theatre professionals will turn the musical tables in a most delightful way, in honor of LGBTQ+, with stories and songs in amazing reimagined ways this Saturday, June 28 at 8 p.m.

This PRIDE Celebration will feature the talents of Brianna Bauch, Elissa DeMaria, Michael Fasano, Frank Mastrone, Scott Mikita, Constantine Pappas, Jessie Janet Richards and Jodi Stevens, all musical stars well known to MTC audiences. Billed as a gender-bending Broadway evening, it will be followed by a post-show reception with complimentary hors d’oeuvres from Romanacci and an open wine bar. All proceeds will benefit MTC’s programming.

“Dolls and Guys” is sponsored by Circle Care Center, a center of excellence for the treatment and prevention of HIV, founded in 2011. It is a beacon of hope and health in Connecticut.

For tickets ($60), call Music Theatre of CT, 509 Westport Avenue, Norwalk (Route One), at 203-454-3883 or online at admin@musictheatreofct.com. All summer long, MTC will host Hot Summer Nights with special guests in concert.

Listen how "Dolls and Guys” musically shakes up tradition in a most delicious way, all to recognize and support the LGBTQ+ community. Join the deserving salute.
