Based on characters and stories by Damon Runyon, “Guys and Dolls” features music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. The musical is set in 1930s New York and follows gambler Nathan Detroit as he searches for a location for his illegal craps games. Detroit makes a wager with high-roller Sky Masterson, challenging him to take missionary Sarah Brown on a date to Havana. The wager leads to complications as the characters become involved in unexpected romantic relationships.
The Det Ny Teater production is directed by Heinrich Topp Christensen, with choreography by Heather Douglas, scenic design by Simon Wells and costume design by Helle Damgård. Jesper Frank Christensen serves as conductor, Michael Webborn is responsible for musical preparation, Malte Hauge is the lighting designer and Hans Christian Ægidius provides the Danish translation.
Isabel Schwartzbach stars as Sarah Brown, with Kim Hammelsvang as Nathan Detroit and Nicolai Jandorf as Sky Masterson.

Brannigan, Ann Hjort as General Matilda Cartwright, Nis Pedersen as Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Simon Nøiers as Benny SouthStreet and Søren Bech-Madsen as Rusty Charlie.
