Guys and Dolls

Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser; Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
February 22 – November 1, 2015

Luck is a fickle lady

Nathan Detroit runs the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York. There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, but it’s no dice unless they have a place to gamble—and that takes dough. Nathan’s got a bet that high roller Sky Masterson can't land a date with a straight-laced Salvation Army doll, but love is never a sure thing. And his fiancée Miss Adelaide will walk out if she doesn’t walk down the aisle soon. What’s a poor guy to do? Put your money on this hilarious musical classic directed by Mary Zimmerman, who created OSF's 2012 smash hit The White Snake. Theatrical haze and herbal cigarettes are used in this production.
Suitability Suggestions

Guys and Dolls is a delightful musical based on Damon Runyon’s fond stories of gamblers and showgirls. The bad guys aren’t really dangerous, the dolls have superhuman patience, and what everybody wants deep down inside is to reform and lead respectable lives. Classic songs and great comedy make Guys and Dolls an odds-on favorite to please the entire family.
