With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls is based on the stories of Damon Runyon that follows two small-time gamblers as they pursue love and luck from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba. This granddaddy of American Theater is considered one of the greatest musicals of all time featuring a timeless story and some of the best show tunes around including "Luck Be A Lady," "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," and "I've Never been in Love Before." A show of this caliber is sure to thrill guys and dolls alike.
