Kuba's latest performance was playing Rusty Charlie in Guys and Dolls. Guys and Dolls was conceived by Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin as an adaptation of Damon Runyon's short stories. These stories written in the 1920's and 1930's, concerned gangsters, gamblers, and other characters of the New York underworld. Kuba opened the show as one of three small-time gamblers, Rusty Charlie, Nicely-Nicely Johnson, and Benny Southstreet. They argue over which horse will win the big race and sand the opening tune - Fugue for Tinhorns. Click this link to see him in action!
Fugue for Tinhorns
The name is Paul Revere,
And here's a guy that says if the weather's clear,
Can do,
Can do,
This guys says the horse can do,
If he says the horse can do,
Can do,
Can do
Can do.
Can do,
Can do,
This guy says the horse can do
If he says the horse can do,
Can do,
Can do.
For Paul Revere I'll bite,
I hear his foot's all right.
Of course it all depends if it rained last night.
Likes mud,
Likes mud,
This "x" means the horse likes mud,
If that means the horse likes mud,
Likes mud,
Likes mud.
I'll tell you Paul Revere,
Now this is no bum steer,
It's from a handicapper that's real sincere.
This guy says the horse shows class,
Can do,
Can do,
Paul Revere,
I got the horse right here.
