Born to Be Arts Academy presents Guys & Dolls!
Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls is set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, to the sewers of New York City as it demonstrates the great lengths to which a guy will go when he truly falls in love with a “doll”.
Guys and Dolls features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious “Adelaide’s Lament”, the exuberant “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat”, and the classics “Luck Be a Lady” and “A Bushell and a Peck”
