Olney Theatre Center's production of Guys and Dolls begins this evening.

Based on the short stories of Damon Runyan, the musical comedy centers on old-time gangsters, hot-box girls, and gambling. The show features iconic songs such as "Luck Be a Lady," "A Bushel and a Peck," and "Sit Down, You’re Rockin the Boat." It continues to be a cultural touchstone of lovable wise-guys and the women who find themselves romantically entangled with them.

The beloved musical features a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, music and lyrics by Frank Loesser, and choreography by Michael Bobbitt. Jerry Whiddon directs.

The cast features Matt Faucher as Sky Masterson, Jessica Lauren Ball as Sarah Brown, Paul Binotto as Nathan Detroit, Lauren Weinberg as Adelaide, Tobias Young as Nicely Nicely, Valerie Leonard as General Cartwright, and Evan Casey as gangster Bennie Southstreet.

The creative team includes Dan Conway (set design), Rosemary Pardee (costume design), Colin K. Bills (lighting design), Jeffrey Dorfman (sound design), and Josiane M. Lemieux (stage manager).

Performances will run through December 27.
