Hailed as the “Perfect Musical Comedy!”
⚲ Seaholm High School - Mainstage Auditorium
Michigan Stage Presents GUYS AND DOLLS
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser, Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows.
When Nathan Detroit tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town he turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough. As Sky is forced to right his wrongs with straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown, Nathan reconciles with the loving and stubborn Adelaide, his fiancé (of fourteen years!). This award-winning classic gambles luck for love under the bright lights of Broadway. Featuring hits Luck Be A Lady, Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat, Take Back Your Mink and more, Guys and Dolls transports audiences from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, even into the sewers of New York, eventually leading everyone exactly where they belong. Appropriate for all audiences.
