GUYS AND DOLLS
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
This toe-tapping Broadway favorite tells the story of some small time
gamblers and the ladies in their lives. When Nathan Detroit bets his
pal Sky Masterson that he can make the next woman he sees fall madly in
love with him, that woman turns out to be prim missionary Sarah Brown.
The stage is set for an evening of high spirited entertainment full of
laughter, love and song, including favorites, "Sit Down You're Rocking
the Boat" and the show stopping "Luck be a Lady"! A Barksdale
production at the Historic Empire Theatre, 114 West Broad Street.
