Guys and Dolls

In 1950, Brooks Atkinson wrote “Guys and Dolls is gutsy and uproarious, and it is not too grand to take a friendly, personal interest in the desperate affairs of Broadway’s backroom society.” Little did he imagine the play would set the gold standard for big-ticket musicals for the rest of the century.

An evergreen masterpiece of the American musical theatre canon with an iconic score, Guys and Dolls is a good-natured, high-rolling frolic about authentic American archetypes immortalized in the fiction of Damon Runyan. You know the play: come see Carnegie Mellon do it their way!
