Guys and Dolls

The Lakewood Cultural Center & Performance Now Theatre Company presents Guys and Dolls. Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters. Sarah Brown, upright but uptight “mission doll,” out to reform the evildoers of
Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos
her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically
ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square, to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and into the sewers of New York City. Featuring music and lyrics Frank Loesser and a book by Jo Swerling & Abe Barrows, the show includes such favorite songs as “Bushel and a Peck,” “Luck Be A Lady,” ” Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat,” and “I’ll Know.”
