Concept

The idea for this Guys and Dolls followed a very traditional Broadway style paired with 1950's advertising. The idea was to envelope the characters in a world of advertising with translucent panels and light boxes. The main center unit was fully automated to move up and downstage, moving us to different places throughout the city, and rotated to provide the Hot Box stage.
