Present:

Guys and Dolls

A Musical Fable of Broadway

Music and Lyrics by: FRANK LOESSER

Book by: JO SWERLING and ABE BURROWS

This oddball romantic comedy is set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City. Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, 'Guys and Dolls' soars with the spirit of Broadway as it highlights a cast of vivid characters: Sarah Brown (the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers); Sky Masterson (the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet but ends up falling in love); Adelaide (the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years); and Nathan Detroit (Adelaide's devoted fiancé (desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game).

It all works out in the end, thanks to the machinations of Abe Burrows' and Jo Swerling's hilarious, fast-paced book with Frank Loesser's bright score, taking us from the heart of Times Square, to Havana, Cuba, and into the sewers of New York City. Funny and romantic, GUYS AND DOLLS is ideal for audiences of any age.
