Why see Guys and Dolls?
Sit Down For Guys and Dolls
It's time to roll those dice and beat the dice as the beloved musical takes a bow! A screwball romantic comedy, Guys and Dolls takes us into the heart of 1920s New York, as imagined by Damon Runyon and scored by Frank Loesser and includes toe-tapping musical theatre classics including 'Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat' and 'Luck Be a Lady'.
What Is The Story?
The story brings together a collection of colorful characters in Depression-era New York. First, there's Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight 'mission doll' out to reform the evil-doers of Time Square. Next up is Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love. Adelaide is a chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for fourteen long years. And last but not least there's her devoted fiance Nathan Detroit, desperate as ever to find a spot for his world-renowned floating crap game!
They all come together in one heck of a thrill-ride through gangster-era New York, that can leave hearts aflame, or broken on the ground!

Spectacular Show!
My husband and I attended opening night of Guys & Dolls and loved it! The performance was outstanding and the set magnificent! We sat on row LL (towards the back) and had a great view of the show. (because we were so far away we couldn't make out actor's faces well but still had a great view.) The biggest downside to sitting in the back is that people got up and left quite a bit.
I have to say that I would think twice before bringing children to the show. The scenes at "The Hotbox" includes sexy performances by women in lingerie.
The performances of Glenn Rainey (Nicely Nicely Johnson) and Megan Sikora (Miss Adelaide) were particularly outstanding! Personally I would recast for the role of Sky Masterson, but that's just me!
Over all I would highly recommend this show and don't forget to go down to the front of the theater before the show to see the beautiful starry night ceiling! ... Read more

Guys and Dolls
I’ve seen dozens of musicals in Chicago, New York and in many other cities. This show was as good as any show I have ever seen. Not hyperbole. Set and costumes were wonderful, dancing was terrific, Nicely, Nicely was great, the rendition of Rocking the Boat was fantastic. The four leads were excellent, Adilade, Sarah and Sky brought down the house with their singing, their performances were extraordinary. Cabaret scenes were beautiful and tastefully done. Could not recommend it more. ... Read more
