Based on the book written by Lo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls is a fast-moving musical fable with a cast of lively and iconic characters. With locations ranging from Times Square in New York City to Havana, Cuba, a young man with a love for gambling must choose between money and the woman of his dreams. This celebrated musical will capture the hearts of many with its many contagious songs, including “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “Luck Be A Lady.”
