Thatcher and Hilary Werthmann.

Bustling with gamblers, gangsters, and sassy showgirls, the timeless tale of GUYS AND DOLLS celebrates Broadway's golden era with one of the greatest scores ever written for a musical, penned by the legendary Frank Loesser. Featuring a masterfully witty book and lyrics by Jo Swerling and comedy legend Abe Burrows, the audience is immersed into the unmistakable Damon Runyon's comic book world of 1940s Times Square in New York City.

GUYS AND DOLLS originally conquered Broadway in 1951, running for more than 1,200 performances, and was the winner of five Tony Awards including Best New Musical. Guys and Dolls starring Nathan Lane was gloriously revived in 1992 garnering four Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical. Frank Loesser's celebrated score, which includes such standards as "Luck Be a Lady," "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," "I've Never Been in Love Before," and "If I Were a Bell" is the perfect musical complement to Runyon's colorful universe.

GUYS AND DOLLS is directed by long-time veteran Big League director Jeffrey B. Moss, with choreography by Bob Richard (co-choreographer of Big League's Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas). New sets are designed byRandel Wright, with lighting design by Charlie Morrison, and musical supervision by Skip Brevis. The show also features sparkling new costumes by veteran designers Michael Bottari and Ronald Case. Rounding out the creative team is Ed Chapman (sound design), Gerard Kelly (hair and wig design ), Allison Franck (casting), and Don S. Gilmore (technical supervision).

The National Tour of GUYS AND DOLLS is traveling to more than 50 cities across the United States before embarking on an international tour which will includes a stop in Singapore. For tour information, visit GuysandDollsOnTour.com.
