Kravis Center to Present GUYS & DOLLS on New Year's Eve

Bustling with gamblers, gangsters, and sassy showgirls, GUYS AND DOLLS celebrates Broadway's golden era with one of the greatest scores ever written for a musical by the legendary Frank Loesser, masterfully witty book and lyrics by Joe Swerling and comedy legend Abe Burrows, and the glorious Damon Runyon's comic book world of 1940s Times Square New York City. GUYS AND DOLLS takes the stage for one night only at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts December 31 at 8 pm. Tickets are on sale now.

GUYS AND DOLLS originally conquered Broadway in 1951 running for over 1200 performances and the winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best New Musical, and again in 1992 with 4 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical. The New York Times calls it 'The show that defines Broadway dazzle!"

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, GUYS AND DOLLS introduces audiences to a cast of characters who have become legends in the musical theatre world: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evil-doers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet to Cuba and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Frank Loesser's toe-tapping score, including fan favorites such as "Luck Be a Lady," "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat," and "I've Never Been in Love Before" is the perfect musical complement to Runyon's colorful characters.

GUYS AND DOLLS is sponsored by Gunster. The performance takes place Wednesday, December 31 at 8 pm.
