About Guys & Dolls
Set in the vibrant hustle and bustle of 20th-century New York City, this sensational musical takes us on a whirlwind journey through the streets of Times Square, the smoky cafes of Havana, and beyond.
Our charming yet oh-so-no-good protagonist, Nathan Detroit, finds himself in a sticky situation. Desperate for the cash to fund his not-so-legal dice games, he must navigate the treacherous waters of eluding the ever-watchful eye of law enforcement and his not-so-patient fiancée, Miss Adelaide. Oh, the pressure!
Enter the infamous gambler with a knack for taking risks, Sky Masterson. With a swagger in his step and a twinkle in his eye, he strikes up a high-stakes bet with Nathan. The challenge? To woo and win over a woman like no other, the stern and seemingly unbreakable Sergeant Sarah Brown of the Save-A-Soul Mission. Can Sky rise to the occasion and melt her heart?
