Delightful performance from the 90s revival of Guys and Dolls

But more importantly, look who's here:

Furthermore, listen to this

[rickchung]

Guys & Dolls x Stanley Alliance Industrial Stage x South Granville. (via Mark Halliday)

Arts Club's revival of the classic 1950 Broadway musical brings the same kind of silly gangster charm to its nostalgic romantic comedy premise surrounding two degenerate gamblers' love lives. Full of catchy show tunes and showy song/dance numbers, it's a production builds until the final act's succession of musical performances exclaiming the love of a good woman and the general lousiness of the average man. It's a big, bright, and bold production that highlights the golden age of musicals

Cast: Daniel Curalli (as Benny Southstreet) and Tenaj Williams (as Nicely-Nicely Johnson).

Running live on stage now until June 30.

Headcanon: Benny Southstreet from Guys and Dolls is aromantic!

[southstreetsweetheart]

Here, my few fellow Guys and Dolls fandom people, take some Nicely and Benny!

[kit-kat-24601]

I need to know...does anyone ship Benny and Nicely-Nicely in Guys and Dolls or is it just me? Benny is, like, really gay in our production and the song "Guys and Dolls" gives me major gay vibes.

Guys and Dolls: 1992 Revival Cast Recording (1992)

Format: An audio recording of the score for the 1992 Broadway revival of the hit musical Guys and Dolls.

Director: Jerry Zaks, probably? He directed the play, so he probably directed this recording too.

Writer: Frank Loesser. Frank Loesser wrote these songs.

Is J.K. Simmons in this? Tangentially, but yes.

Who does he portray? He sings the part of supporting character Benny Southstreet.

What does he do? Sings backup for other people’s stuff, mostly. It’s a bit hard to distinguish him from the other people on this recording.

How bald is he? Unknown, this is not a visual medium. We will in all probability never know how bald J.K. Simmons was when he was recording this album, and that will be our triumph and that will be our downfall.

Is anybody else in this? Yeah, it’s almost all other people in this. J.K. SImmons is barely in this at all.

Is it worth listening to if I’m not a J.K. Simmons completist? Yes. This is a classic show, revived with an all-star cast of extremely talented performers and recorded superbly. Performances of the revival itself are probably not available in any kind of legitimate high-quality form, so this is probably the closest you’ll ever be able to get to seeing it (and since it’s definitely a show worth experiencing, I recommend picking it up).

JOHNNY SILVER

April 16, 1918

Johnny Silver was born John Silverman in East Chicago, Indiana. Silver's performing arts career started early, singing as a youth, and then expanded to acting. His early career involved performing with actor John Raitt at L.A. City College as well as radio work. He also worked as a burlesque comic.

He made his big screen debut in the screen adaptation of Guys and Dolls (1955) playing Benny Southstreet (above center). A clip from the Damon Runyon musical was included in the original airing of “I Love Lucy” episode “Lucy and the Dummy” (ILL S5;E3) on October 17, 1955 as part of the MGM show. The clip was removed after the first airing and has never since been part of the episode. Ruskin did not appear in the clip. 

Prior to that, he made his small screen debut on “NBC Television Opera Theatre” doing three episodes in 1950. 

It should be no surprise that he made his Desilu debut on “The Untouchables,” doing two episodes in 1959, and 1960.  Both times he played uncredited ‘gangsters’. 

From 1956 to 1961, Silver appeared as various characters on seven episodes of “The Danny Thomas Show” aka “Make Room for Daddy”, shot at Desilu, twice playing Mr. Shermahorn. The series did cross-over episodes with “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in 1958, although Silver was not part of it. 

From 1961 to 1965, Silver appeared as various characters on five episodes of “The Joey Bishop Show”, shot a Desilu Studios. 

From 1963 to 1965, Silver appeared as various character on fifteen episodes of “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” also shot at Desilu. 

Back on the Desilu lot in October 1966, Silver played an alien (actually an actor playing an alien) on an episode of “Gomer Pyle USMC” (above right), cast because of his height, 4′11″.  “The Lucy Show” did a cross-over episode with “Gomer Pyle” a month later, although Silver was not part of it. 

From 1962 to 1972, Silver did four episodes of “My Three Sons” shot at Desilu, the first two opposite William Frawley. 

In February 1971, he finally joined Lucille Ball on the “Here’s Lucy” episode “The Hollywood Unemployment Follies” starring Carol Burnett.  He plays the shortest of four Canadian Mounties singing “Stout-hearted Men,” a song by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II.

He returned to the series in November 1972 to play Benny in “Dirty Gertie” (HL S5;E10) in a nod to his character Benny Southstreet in Guys and Dolls. 

His final screen appearance was a small role on “Seinfeld” on May 18, 1955. 

He died on February 1, 2003 at age 84. He was married to Gloria Manos and was survived by their two daughters: Stephanie Silver and Jennie Silver, who work together as a singing duet called The Silver Belles.

“If you can't laugh at life, you might as well blow your brains out.” ~ Johnny Silver 

For the record, he died of heart and kidney failure.
