About Guys and Dolls

Charming but broke gambler Nathan Detroit is short on cash for the biggest craps game in town and the authorities are breathing down his neck. Meanwhile, longtime girlfriend and club performer, Miss Adelaide, is tiring of their 14-year engagement with no wedding in sight. Nathan looks to fellow high-roller Sky Masterson for the cash, and the two concoct a bet for Sky to whisk the strait-laced missionary Sarah Brown off to Havana. Sarah is determined to save the souls of the gamblers, setting in motion a series of events where love and redemption intersect.

Frank Loesser’s vibrant score makes Guys and Dolls a true crowd-pleaser, featuring songs like “Luck Be a Lady,” “A Bushel and a Peck” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” Chanhassen Dinner Theatres brings you all the thrills, laughs and songs when you come to experience Guys and Dolls!
