They were warned “don’t work on the show behind Director Jerry Zak's back!" But Guys and Dolls stars Nathan Lane and Faith Prince DID just that and the risk paid off!

In this episode, Nathan Lane speaks in depth about playing Nathan Detroit and shares some of the challenges the show faced along the way.
