Guys and Dolls

EUSOG present the Tony award-winning musical 'Guys and Dolls'

Fresh from taking the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009 by storm with 5 star, sell-out productions of Rent and Pirates of Penzance, EUSOG return with a classic musical fable of Broadway.

One of Broadway’s best-loved musicals, Guys & Dolls hit the stage in 1950 and ran for 1200 performances; in 1955 becoming a film starring Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. In the streets of New York, Damon Runyon’s wittily-drawn characters are set on a collision course: earnest Sarah Brown from the Save-a-Soul Mission is wooed by inveterate gambler Sky Masterson, as the irrepressible Nathan Detroit seeks a new location for his floating dice game while side-stepping both the law and Adelaide, his showgirl fiancée of 14 years.

Richly comic and unashamedly upbeat, the show features “Luck Be a Lady”, “Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat”, “Bushel and a Peck”, “Take Back Your Mink” and “Adelaide’s Lament”.

Guys and Dolls will be performed in the Pleasance Theatre, Edinburgh from Tuesday 10th - Saturday 14th November, 7.30pm.

Booking information will be available here shortly.
