JANUARY heralded a show-stopping production of Guys and Dolls to delight parents and staff at Lord Wandsworth College in Long Sutton.

The musical, set in New York, tells the story of gamblers, gangsters and nightclub singers with catchy tunes like Luck Be A Lady and Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat.

The cast of 44 started rehearsals back in September and they pulled together as a team to create an upbeat, colourful, romantic comedy that delighted packed audiences for three nights. The brilliant score had everyone tapping their feet and brought a welcome ray of sunshine to a grey, wet January.

Lord Wandsworth headteacher Adam Williams said: “We have some exceptionally talented pupils and staff who have worked very hard to ensure they entertained us with this unforgettable production. They did not disappoint.

“I am incredibly proud of them all. It takes great courage and creativity to step up on stage and deliver a masterful performance like that.

“We’ll be humming those tunes for weeks to come.”
