'Guys and Dolls SR.' will be April 9-11

“Guys and Dolls” is based on Damon Runyons’ stories about New York City gamblers and missionaries, featuring iconic songs such as “Luck Be A Lady,” “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat,” and “A Bushel and A Peck.” The plot centers on the romance between high-rolling Sky Masterson and missionary Sarah Brown, and the long-running engagement of Nathan Detroit and Miss Adelaide, set against a backdrop of underground craps games and the “Save-a-Soul” mission. It premiered on Broadway in 1950 and won a Tony for Best Musical.
