Guys and Dolls - Music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Dates: Wednesday

Location: The Conservatoire EAST Theatre, West Suffolk College, IP33 3RL

'Call it hell, call it heaven, it's a a probable twelve to seven that the guy's only doing for some doll'.

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. 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, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
