"If it be true good wine needs no bush", then this play needs no repetition of the universal acclaim it received in the 50's. In the post-war Renaissance of the American Musical, Guys and Dolls stands out as exceptional and original.

The play based on a story by Damon Runyon is described as a fable, and like all good fantasies, the characters are recognisable as real and entertaining people; even their names give a phonetic pleasure when mouthed - Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Benny Southstreet, Sky Masterson, Rusty Charlie being as descriptive as their ancestors in the Restoration Comedies. ~ Richard Carey


The action takes place around and on Broadway, with the exception of a few hours in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
