Guys and Dolls

A special engagement at Stratford Festival Theatre

Stratford Festival Theatre presents an extended engagement of the acclaimed Broadway classic musical, based on a story by Damon Runyon, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. This red-hot sizzler of a musical tells the story of gamblers, gangsters and nightclub singers. The glorious soundtrack includes faves such as Luck be a Lady, Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat and My Time of Day, and is helmed and choreographed by Donna Feore. With a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, the exciting story will take you back in time to the finger-clickin' dark days of the gangster underworld.

The story brings together a collection of colourful characters in Depression-era New York. First, there's Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight 'mission doll' out to reform the evil-doers of Time Square. Next up is Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love. Adelaide is a chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for fourteen long years. And last but not least there's her devoted fiance Nathan Detroit, desperate as ever to find a spot for his world-renowned floating craps game!
