Onstage is a nine-member orchestra plus an ensemble of 22 actors and dancers.
Guys and Dolls had its world premiere in 1950 and became a giant success, with a 1200 performance run and the Tony Award for best musical. In 1955 came the movie with Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine.
The musical has several great hits, such as Luck be a lady and I've never been in love before, both later sung by Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand and others.
Musical leader/leader of the orchestra: Petter S. Kragstad."

Lillian Bikset, Dagbladet, Gir god gevinst (literally: Provides a fine payoff), February 1 2014:
"Guys and Dolls is a winning musical comedy, rich in well-considered details. It is obvious what the aim is: To spread joy and to entertain. (...) The jazz characteristics are always emphasised, with some extra spice through elements from gospel and hymns (in the Salvation Army scenes) and salsa (in the Havana scene, obviously). Petter Kragstad's elegant arrangements, performed live by an orchestra of nine, are always conscious of the plot development. The most sincere feelings have been given the most stripped-down arrangements, whereas the full instrumental variation is taken advantage of in more detailed group numbers."
