Based on the humorous Broadway tales of author Damon Runyon, Guys and Dolls unspools the yarn of Nathan Detroit, the organizer of New York’s oldest floating craps game, to the tune of timeless songs such as “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat.” Romance abounds in this family-friendly musical, with fellow gambler Sky Masterson attempting to win over a Salvation Army–type reformer and Nathan himself grappling with his longtime girlfriend’s desire for commitment. Audiences watch seasoned pros from the Bay Area—as well as prodigies from King Middle School and Berkwood Hedge School—shuffle through dazzling dance numbers with aplomb gained while performing for theaters throughout California and trying to outperform the actors in their bathroom mirrors.
