GUYS AND DOLLS to Play State Theatre Next Month

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. This oddball romantic comedy comes to the State Theatre on Wednesday, April 1st.

Show time is 7:00 PM. Tickets are $60/$55 and can be purchased by visiting the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, by calling 1-800-999-STATE, 610.252.3132 or online at www.statetheatre.org. Sponsored by Lafayette Ambassador Bank, Tribune Direct and Morningstar Senior Living. Part of the Butz Celebrates Broadway Performance Series.

Guys and Dolls soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces the audience to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Times Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancée, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Bustling with gamblers, gangsters, and sassy showgirls, Guys and Dolls celebrates Broadway's golden era with one of the greatest scores ever written for a musical by the legendary Frank Loesser, masterfully witty book and lyrics by Joe Swerling and comedy legend Abe Burrows, and the glorious Damon Runyon's comic book world of 1940s Times Square New York City.

Guys and Dolls originally conquered Broadway in 1951, running for 1200 performances and winning five Tony Awards including Best New Musical. It was subsequently made into the beloved film starring Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. In 1992, the show won four Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, an award it was also nominated for following revivals in 1976 and 2009. The New York Times calls it "The show that defines Broadway dazzle!"
