Frank Loesser’s celebrated musical comedy about rolling the dice and falling in love under the bright lights of Broadway.
Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City. Gambler Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. Guys And Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
Frank Loesser’s brassy, immortal score makes Guys and Dolls a crowd pleaser which will delight audiences of any age.
For this production we aim to bring the heart of the action into the auditorium. For the full immersive experience we have limited pairs of cabaret table seating available.
