Guys and Dolls

Genre: Musical

A superb new cast headed by Neil Morrissey, Sally Ann Triplett, Adam Cooper and Kelly Price, joins the Donmar Warehouse's production of Guys and Dolls, directed by award-winning Artistic Director, Michael Grandage.

Guys and Dolls tells the story of a group of small-time gamblers and the ladies in their lives. Nathan Detroit bets his pal, Sky Masterson, that he can't make the next lady he sees fall in love with him, and when the next lady happens to be the prim and proper neighbourhood missionary, Sarah Brown, the stage is set for an evening of high-spirited entertainment, set to the top-tapping beat of Loesser's superlative compositions.

Classic songs include Luck be a Lady, Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat, Adelaide's Lament, I've Never Been in Love Before, If I Were a Bell, and the wonderful title song, Guys and Dolls.
