They’ve Got Rhythm: Wick’s Glorious Crazy For You

Wick Actress’ Funny Girl Gives Fanny Her Own Endearing Stamp
Few theatrical challenges are as a daunting as actor taking on an iconic role made unforgettable by an inimitable talent in a career-making performance engraved in the popular consciousness.

Stand Up, Wick Theatre’s Guys And Dolls Is Rockin’ The House
One quiet fear of frequent theatergoers is that some well-meaning troupe will bungle a piece they love and override precious memories with mediocrity. Well, breathe easier. The Wick Theatre’s rendition of Guys and Dolls, widely considered one of the best musical comedies ever written, is as buoyant and spirited a triumph as a fan could wish.
