Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys & Dolls is a romantic musical comedy.

Gambler Nathan Detroit is trying to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town but with the authorities breathing down his neck is not having much luck, while his girlfriend and nightclub performer Miss Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years with no signs of marriage.  

Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough. Sky Masterson is a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any bet. Nathan bets Sky $1000 that he can’t take the “doll” of Nathan’s choosing to Havana, with him on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses uptight Evangelist Sergeant Sarah Brown, head of Broadway’s Save-a-Soul Mission. Sky thinks he’s been duped, but he’s in for even more of a surprise when his efforts to woo Sarah are so successful that he ends up falling in love with her himself!

Guys & Dolls will take you from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City! It features some of Frank Loesser’s 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”, the joyful “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat” and the classic “Luck Be a Lady”.
