2. Guys and Dolls

The classic romantic musical comedy Guys and Dolls has won multiple Tony Awards and is widely considered to be the greatest musical of all time. Set in the streets of mid-20th century Manhattan, it tells the overlapping stories of two unlikely couples. Lovable rapscallion Nathan Detroit, who has been engaged to Hot Box Club headliner Adelaide for 14 years, tries to find a location for his illegal but notorious dice game. Meanwhile, pious mission worker Sarah Brown encounters suave high roller Sky Masterson. Romance and hilarity ensue.

Guys and Dolls takes us from the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a “guy” will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll.” Guys and Dolls features 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 classic “Luck Be a Lady,” and the show-stopping “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” The show is suitable for people of all ages.
