GUYS AND DOLLS
A HAOS Productions Musical
"Luck be a lady tonight!"
One of Broadway’s most popular shows, Frank Loesser’s celebrated musical about rolling the dice and falling in love under the bright lights of Times Square is considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy.
Guys and Dolls tells the story of the 1920’s New York City underworld. Down on his luck gambler, Nathan Detroit, needs cash to run the biggest floating crap game whilst evading the law, much to the dismay of his long suffering fiancée of 14 years, Miss Adelaide, a club performer.
Desperate for the dough, Nathan bets notorious high-stakes gambler, Sky Masterson, $1000 to take a doll of Nathan’s choice to Havana for dinner. Accepting the bet, Sky doesn’t realise the “doll” in store for him is the highly pious and icy Sergeant Sarah Brown.
This legendary musical takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong. Coming to the Victoria Theatre for the first time in almost two decades this iconic show with its immortal brassy score will be certain to have you tapping your feet and roaring with laughter.
