Rivertown Theaters Opens 2017-18 Season with "The Perfect Musical,"
"Guys & Dolls"
(August 8, 2017 - Kenner LA ) - One of Broadway's all-time classics, "Guys & Dolls" will lead off Rivertown Theaters' spectacular, highly anticipated 2017-18 season opening September 8 and running through September 24th.
Frank Loesser's celebrated musical comedy about rolling the dice and falling in love under the bright lights of Broadway, "Guys and Dolls" is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. This multi Tony & Olivier Award winning classic is packed with one unforgettable song after another - not to mention loads of romance and charm to spare. With beloved tunes such as "A Bushel and a Peck," "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," "Luck Be A Lady," and "The Oldest Established," there is plenty of toe-tapping to be had.  If you are the betting type, you should know that "Guys and Dolls" is the odds-on favorite to ride to the winners' circle of your greatest Broadway loves. These gents and dames have an irresistible mix of naughty, nice and classic Broadway pizzazz that will thoroughly entertain multi-generational audiences.

    On September 10, Metairie will host the first ever Muffuletta Festival, a free event in which the iconic sandwich plays a starring role.
    Nor-Joe Imports (505 Frisco Ave.)will be the site of the food, music, and cultural event that will also include cooking demonstrations, dance performances, Bocce ball, and more. As festival founder and Nor-Joe owner Mark Subervielle explains, "The Muffuletta Festival aims to honor the legacy of Italian immigrants in the Greater New Orleans and current day bakeries throughout the area while offering delicious food and good family fun. This sandwich is totally unique to New Orleans, and that's worth celebrating and preserving."
    Taking place on a Sunday, the family-friendly celebration will give New Orleans-area folks an opportunity to celebrate the tradition traced back to the 1890s, when Italian immigrants in the French Quarter began making sandwiches with ayers of marinated olive salad, mortadella, salami, ham, and provolone.
    Those looking to get involved on a bigger scale are encouraged to contact Nor-Joe Imports, which is still seeking food vendors and sponsors. Thus far, musical performers include The Yat pack and special guests. The event will run from noon until 9p.m. and is rain or shine.
