Set in the streets of mid-20th century Manhattan, Guys and Dolls tells the overlapping stories of two unlikely couples. Nathan Detroit, who has been engaged to Hot Box Club headliner Adelaide for 14 years, tries to find a location for his notorious dice game. Meanwhile, pious mission worker Sarah Brown encounters suave high roller Sky Masterson. Romance and hilarity ensue as the show demonstrates the great lengths a ‘guy’ will go to when he truly falls in love with a ‘doll.’

Guys and Dolls features Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including “Adelaide’s Lament,” “I’ve Never Been in Love Before,” “If I Were a Bell,” the classic “Luck Be a Lady” and the show-stopping “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” Running time is approximately 150 minutes, including one intermission. The show is suitable for all ages.
