Guys & Dolls


This classic romantic comedy, with its wonderful score, brings to life the vibrant world of 1950s New York. With characters including charismatic gambler Sky Masterson, Sister Sarah Brown of the Save a Soul Mission, chancer Nathan Detroit and his long-time fiancee, showgirl Miss Adelaide, Guys and Dolls is a legend of the Broadway stage – with a recent revival in London proving its enduring popularity.

The memorable score includes ‘Luck Be A Lady’, ‘I’ve Never Been In Love Before’, ‘I’ll Know When My Love Comes Along’, ‘If I Were A Bell’, and ‘Sit Down You’re Rocking The Boat’, plus high-energy dance numbers.

When fixer Nathan Detroit – organiser of the ‘oldest-established permanent floating crap game in New York’ needs a quick win to save his reputation, he bets streetwise Sky Masterson he can’t win the heart of ‘mission doll’ Sister Sarah Brown. The path to romance of this unlikeliest of couples takes Sky on a mission of his own – to roll the dice for his soul – and his heart.

Based on the story and characters of Damon Runyon.

Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows.
