News about Frank Loesser

The immersive reimagining of Frank Loesser's magnificent musical about illegal gamblers in 1930s New York has just been nominated for an Olivier Award for best musical revival. There have also been some casting changes. Timmika Ramsay is the upcoming, full-throated and sassy Hot Box singer, and Owain Arthur plays her fiance Nathan Detroit as her marriage-averse fiancee, giving a comedic appearance as he dodges both his put-upon gal and the cops when playing an illicit craps game. George Ioannides remains as a slick Sky Masterson, with Celinde Schoenmaker continuing as Sarah Brown, the innocent Salvation Army girl who hopes to save his soul but who winds up being his doll.
