In New York City, you’ll meet wise guys and chorus gals, gamblers and actresses, cops and
bobby-soxers. Pious Sarah Brown, a sergeant at the Save-A-Soul mission, wants to save their souls while Nathan Detroit needs $1000 to save the city’s oldest floating craps game. Enter high-roller Sky Masterson who takes Nathan’s crazy bet – to woo the virtuous Sarah! Who will take a real gamble on love? Will luck be a lady tonight? Guys and Dolls has been called the “greatest of all American musicals.”

As we did with My Fair Lady in 2011 and Ragtime in 2012, we are taking a celebrated musical and giving it our own re-envisioned twist; focusing on the glorious storytelling and celebrating the myriad characters in this zestful Runyonesque world. – JM
