-ABOUT GUYS AND DOLLS- Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, the award-winning classic Guys and Dolls gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. This 1950 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical is based on short stories by American author Damon Runyon. New York’s most infamous crap game organizer, Nathan Detroit, hoping for a big pay day, challenges notorious gambler Sky Masterson to a bet he’s sure he’ll win: take mission girl Sarah Brown to dinner in Havana, Cuba. Sky accepts and pursues the known prude, seemingly hopelessly, while Nathan deals with his own situation - his 14-year fiancée, Adelaide, who’s tired of waiting for a wedding. When bets and love seem at odds, the characters are called to question their priorities to make things right.

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, and most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament,” the romantic “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” the exuberant “If I Were a Bell,” and the classic “Luck Be a Lady,” makes Guys and Dolls a crowd pleaser.

When it opened on Broadway in 1950, it won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. With three more Broadway revivals, it has cemented itself as a staple of American musicals.
It is based on the short stories of Damon Runyon, an American author and reporter who favored tales about the seedier happenings of Broadway.
