Guys & Dolls

Step into the vibrant heart of 1950s New York with Guys and Dolls, a musical currently playing at the Bridge Theatre, where love, laughter and unforgettable melodies set the rhythm for this Broadway classic.

Join charismatic gamblers like the suave Sky Masterson and the lovable Nathan Detroit as they navigate the high-stakes gambling world of Manhattan and New York City.

What is Guys & Dolls about?

Guys & Dolls returns to London's West End, reviving one of the great musical classics in an extravagant, immersive production. First performed on Broadway in 1950, this beloved production by Frank Loesser (music and lyrics), Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows (book) was inspired by the colourful stories of Damon Runyon, capturing the essence of the city's vibrant characters and the world of high risk gambling. 

Prepare to step into the immersive revival directed by Nicholas Hytner, taking you through the streets of Manhattan and the bars of Havana for the most unexpected love stories. Dive deep into the world of dodgy casinos and big-city crime, paired with unlikely love stories.

When con man Nathan Detroit sees his gambling den raided by the police, he has only one option: turn the tables and enlist the help of gambler Sky Masterson to finance a new location for his illegal dice games while fleeing a police investigation. While still promising to marry his fiancée of 14 years, Adelaide, Nathan dares Sky Masterson to get him a date in La Havana with uptight Evangelist Sarah Brown, surely one of the most difficult women to charm. What follows is a lost bet and the most unlikely romance in musical theatre.

Filled with unforgettable tunes such as "Luck Be a Lady" and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat", the musical showcases the irresistible energy of Broadway. The characters' journeys through love, happiness and redemption create a delightful and entertaining experience that has captivated audiences for decades.
