Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and
Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in
1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and
won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and
Oliviers. Frequently revived, the show has been done with numerous
all-star casts, including productions/concerts featuring Ewan McGregor,
Jane Krakowski, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Jessica Biel.

Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an
oddball romantic comedy. 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 and nightclub performer,
Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen
years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough,
and Sky ends up chasing the strait-laced missionary, Sarah Brown,
as a result. 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. The large cast features both a variety of ensemble and star
roles. With a great collection of production resources from Musical
Theatre International (MTI), this highly producible show is a treat for
audiences and performers of any age.
