NEW YORK CITY. GAMBLERS. MISSIONARIES. ROMANCE.
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town as authorities breathe down his neck. In the meantime, Adelaide, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, bemoans that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the money. Sky then ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls goes from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana to even the sewers of New York! Ultimately, though, everyone ends up right where they belong!
As an fyi—Guys and Dolls is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy and ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Oliviers.
This is a matinee performance and will be followed by dinner (on your own) for those wishing to continue the fun at a restaurant TBD.
