Direct from the West End, the Olivier Award nominated Chichester Festival Theatre production Guys and Dolls heads to the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 19 - Saturday 23 April with a cast including TV and stage stars Richard Fleeshman and Maxwell Caulfield and West End leading ladies Louise Dearman and Anna O'Byrne.

Nathan Detroit is desperate: he needs money for an illegal dice game, and he needs it fast. Not to mention a 14-year engagement with nightclub singer Miss Adelaide, whose patience is finally running out. Enter notorious gambler Sky Masterson, a guy who can never turn down a bet, and straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown, a doll with a heart of ice. Nathan's wager is that Sky has to romance Sarah by taking her to Havana for dinner and in return he'll provide a dozen 'sinners' for Sarah's mission. Surely this is one bet Nathan absolutely can't lose?

Richard Fleeshman, familiar to audiences from his appearances in Coronation Street, Call The Midwife and Ghost the Musical, plays Sky Masterson, with Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, Emmerdale, The Colbys) as Nathan Detroit, Louise Dearman (Wicked, Evita) as Adelaide and Anna O'Byrne (Love Never Dies) as Sarah Brown.

A joyous and vibrant celebration of Prohibition-era New York, Guys and Dolls first premiered on Broadway in 1950 and captured the optimism and energy of post-World War Two America. This hugely popular and multi award-winning musical, based on the colourful stories by American journalist Damon Runyon renowned for his vivid fictional depictions of the gamblers, hustlers and nightclub singers of New York, features some of Broadway's greatest musical numbers including My Time of Day, Luck be a Lady and the show-stopping Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat.

Guys and Dolls is at the Lyceum Theatre from Tuesday 19 - Saturday 23 April. Tickets can be purchased from Sheffield Theatres' Box Office in-person, by phone on 0114 249 6000 or online at sheffieldtheatres.co.uk and are priced from £31.00 - £43.00 (a transaction fee of £1.50 (£1.00 online) applies to all bookings made at the Box Office, excluding cash).
