Michael Grandage's West End production of Guys and Dolls will finish its run after nearly two years on April 14.
"Miami Vice" star Don Johnson is currently leading the cast in the role of Nathan Detroit. Johnson is scheduled to finish his extended run in the production on March 31.
Grandage's revival of Frank Loesser's classic musical opened at the Piccadilly Theatre on June 1, 2005, with Ewan McGregor and Jane Krakowski as, respectively, Sky Masterson and Miss Adelaide.
Grandage recently revealed plans for a 2008 New York version of the production.
The original Broadway production of Guys and Dolls opened at the 46th Street Theatre in November 1950, running for 1,200 performances before closing Nov. 28, 1953. Among the premiere cast were Robert Alda as Sky Masterson, Isabel Bigley as Sarah Brown, Sam Levene as Nathan Detroit and Vivian Blaine as Miss Adelaide. Blaine re-created her role for the 1955 film, which also starred Marlon Brando as Sky, Jean Simmons as Sarah Brown and Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit.
