CMT Marquee Presents Tony Award-Winning GUYS AND DOLLS

CMT Marquee Productions, featuring emerging artists from New York to the Bay Area and beyond, presents the Tony Award-winning classic Guys and Dolls, April 20-29. The story: Nathan Detroit needs some serious dough to keep his "floating crap game" afloat. When he makes a bet with high-roller Sky Masterson, his problems seem to be solved. But now these guys have to decide if they're ready to gamble on love! From the bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana, Nathan and Sky show us the great lengths to which a guy will go for his doll.

Based on Damon Runyon's short stories written in the 1920s and 1930s, the timeless humor of Guys and Dolls is as relatable today as it was then. Guys and Dolls showcases some of Frank Loesser's most seminal work, including the hilarious "Adelaide's Lament," the smooth "Luck Be a Lady" and the irrepressible "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat." CMT's Guys and Dolls features Frankie Mulcahy as Sky Masterson, Catherine Brady as Sarah Brown, Doug Santana as Nathan Detroit and Elizabeth Santana as Adelaide.

Show Schedule Friday, April 20 at 7:30 pm, Sat. April 21 at 2 pm and 7:30 pm, Sunday, April 22 at 1 pm and 6 pm ?? Thursday, April 26 at 7 pm, Friday, April 27 at 7:30 pm, Saturday, April 28 at 2pm and 7:30 pm, Sunday, April 29 at 1 pm. For tickets and more information, www.cmtsj.org/guys-and-dolls.
