Considered by theater critics and lovers to be “the perfect musical comedy,” Guys and Dolls is Frank Loesser’s masterpiece. Written for Broadway in 1950, Guys and Dolls received praise from critics and won Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Oliviers ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy whose brassy immortal score includes exuberant dance numbers, comic turns and ballads that have become standards for generations, including “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down You’re Rocking The Boat,” “I’ll Know,” “If I Were a Bell” and “Adelaide’s Lament.”
