The winner of the 1952 Tony Award, Guys and Dolls can be found on just about anybody's list of the top musicals of all time. The plot hinges on a bet between two loveable gangsters: Sky Masterson, who must figure out a way to lure Miss Sarah Brown, a demure Salvation Army lass, to Cuba, and Nathan Detroit who wants to find a place to shoot craps almost as much as he wants to avoid marriage to Miss Adelaide, his showgirl fiancée. Filled with a classic score, including "A Bushel and a Peck," "If I Were a Bell" and "I've Never Been in Love Before," Guys and Dolls is a classic for the whole family. Directed by Brad Friedman, choreographed by Robyn Tribuzi, music by and vocal direction by Til Tribuzi.
