Story

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls is set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City. This oddball romantic comedy tells the story of gambler, Nathan Detroit who tries to find the cash to set up the biggest dice game in town, while the cops are breathing down his neck. Meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide pressures him to get married and settle down. So, Nathan makes a sure-thing bet with the high-rolling gambler, Sky Masterson that he can’t take the do-gooder missionary, Sarah Brown to Havana, Cuba. This show includes classic hits such as “Luck Be a Lady,” “Adelaide’s Lament,” and “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat.”
