With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls is based on the stories of Damon Runyon that follows two small-time gamblers as they pursue love and luck from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba. This granddaddy of American Theater is considered one of the greatest musicals of all time featuring a timeless story and some of the best show tunes around, including "Luck Be A Lady," "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," and "I've Never Been in Love Before."

Guys and Dolls runs now through October 29 in the Quadracci Powerhouse. Opening night is set for Saturday, September 23 at 8pm. To purchase tickets go to www.MilwaukeeRep.com, by phone at 414-224-9490 or in person at the Ticket Office (108 E. Wells Street).
