Guys and Dolls


  • Devonport Playhouse 6C Fore Street Plymouth, England, PL1 4DW United Kingdom (map)

Guys and Dolls Junior is an adaptation of the show considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. Its namesake ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950 and won numerous Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Frank Loesser’s brassy, immortal score and witty book makes Guys and Dolls Junior a perennial crowd pleaser.

Set in Damon Runyon’s New York City, Guys and Dolls Junior follows gambler, Nathan Detroit, as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years without ever getting married. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown.

Guys and Dolls Junior takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.
