It's New York City. Mid-20th century. A mug by the name of Nathan Detroit has set his sights on the biggest craps game of his career while Adelaide, his fiancée of 14 years, longs for a wedding. Master gambler Sky Masterson woos missionary Sarah Brown despite the obvious problems inherent in their relationship. Gambling in luck and love from Times Square to Havana, Cuba, this classic musical boasts colorful characters and a brassy score, featuring “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “Adelaide’s Lament.” It’s a surefire win!

Based on journalist Damon Runyon’s stories of the seedier side of Broadway, including “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown,” Guys and Dolls hooks its audience with a fast-paced book written by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows spiced with clever songs by Frank Loesser.  This crowd-pleasing show opened on Broadway in November 1950 and became one of the biggest successes in theater history, running 1,200performances and winning five Tony Awards in 1951, including Best Musical and Best Book.
