Guys and Dolls: A Musical Fable of Broadway

One of the greatest musical comedies of all time, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. Brimming with gangsters, gamblers, showgirls, and holy rollers, Guys and Dolls: A Musical Fable of Broadway is an oddball romantic comedy that finds Nathan Detroit setting up the biggest craps game in New York while fending off questions of marriage from his fiancée of 14 years, Adelaide. Meanwhile, fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, finds himself unexpectedly in love with 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.

Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon. Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser. Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Directed by A.J. Allegra and Jauné Buisson. Choreographed by Jauné Buisson.
