Synopsis:
Guys and Dolls is a musical comedy that revolves around a bet made between Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson.

Nathan Detroit is the organizer of the oldest permanent floating crap game in New York City. Sky Masterson is the coolest, highest roller of them all - he would bet on anything that could turn him a profit.

Detroit bets Masterson that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. The next girl Masterson sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, of the Save-a-Soul Mission who is vainly trying to spread the "Word" and make a difference to the sin and depravity of the NYC streets.

Meanwhile, Adelaide, Detroit's showgirl girlfriend and the main attraction at the Hot Box Nightclub, wants nothing more than to get married and leave behind her seemingly glamorous lifestyle for a white picket fence and roses round the door.

Mix together gamblers, con-men, show-girls and a spunky do-gooder, and the stage is set for a riotous evening of complications and hilarity.
