November 3 through 18, Friday & Saturday 8 pm, Sunday 2 pm
Hailed as "the perfect musical comedy," Guys & Dolls opens at the Firehouse Arts Center on Saturday, November 3 at 8:00 p.m. The musical has won every award possible in theater since its premiere on Broadway in 1950, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks, Oliviers, and even the Pulitzer Prize. Professional theater company Tri-Valley Repertory Theater brings the sparkling classic to life over three weekends of performances in Pleasanton.
Set in author Damon Runyon's mythical Manhattan of a romanticized 1920s and '30s New York, Guys & Dolls pairs the unlikeliest of couples: a high-rolling gambler and a puritanical missionary, a showgirl dreaming of the straight-and-narrow and a crap game manager who is anything but.
The plot: Con-man Nathan Detroit is trying to find new life for his illegal, but notoriously popular, crap game. When their trusty venue is found out by the police, Nathan has to find a new place fast - but he doesn't have the dough to secure the one location he finds. Enter Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward attached. So, Nathan bets Sky that he can't take the "doll" of Nathan's choosing to Havana, Cuba, with him on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses the uptight Sarah Brown, head of Broadway's Save-a-Soul Mission. Sky thinks he's been had, but the tables turn...
Guys and Dolls takes the audience from bustle of Times Square to the dance clubs of Havana, and even to the sewers of New York City, featuring some of Frank Loesser's most memorable tunes, including the hilarious "Adelaide's Lament," the romantic "I've Never Been in Love Before," the exuberant "If I Were a Bell," and the classic "Luck Be a Lady."
