Synopsis

Guys & Dolls is a classic figure of Broadway history, and possesses many of the qualities traditionally associated with the New York Music Hall; boy meets girl, swinging jazz and tap, dancing girls, chorus atmosphere routines and more.

Set against the color of New York City's high lights and life, Guys & Dolls is an entertaining fable of love, marriage and temperance of Damon Runyon's Broadway.
