Actress Rebel Wilson is set to make her West End debut with "Guys And Dolls".
The 36-year-old Australian actress will star as Miss Adelaide for eight weeks over the summer, reported Femalefirst.
"I am delighted to be making my West End debut in 'Guys And Dolls' and to be playing such an iconic role as Miss Adelaide is truly an honour. Hopefully I crush it... But you'll have to come and see me to find out," Wilson said.
The "Pitch Perfect" star said she has been a huge fan of musical theatre for over 20 years.
"A lot of people who know me from my more recent film work have no idea how much theatre has influenced my life. I saw my first musical at age 14, a show called 42nd Street, after one of my family's dogs had unsuccessfully auditioned to be in it.
"It blew me away and I've loved musical theatre ever since. I then went on to write and perform in my own productions before being snapped up to do screen work," she said.
