The Old Opera House to Present GUYS AND DOLLS
By: A.A. Cristi Aug. 09, 2016
Frank Loesser's celebrated musical comedy about rolling the dice and falling in love under the bright lights of Broadway is coming to West Virginia! Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys And Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy.
Gambler Nathan Detroit is trying to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend, nightclub performer Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for 14 years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler Sky Masterson for the dough and ends up in a bet, sending Sky chasing the straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown. Guys And Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafés of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
