Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls
Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway.

Considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls ran for 1,200 performances when it opened on Broadway in 1950. It received nearly unanimous positive reviews from critics and won a bevy of awards, including Tony Awards, Drama Desks and Oliviers. Frequently revived, the show has been done with numerous all-star casts, including productions/concerts featuring Ewan McGregor, Jane Krakowski, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Jessica Biel.

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.

Frank Loesser's brassy, immortal score makes Guys and Dolls a crowd pleaser. The large cast features both a variety of ensemble and star roles. With a great collection of production resources from MTI, this highly producible show is a treat for audiences and performers of any age.

"Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there’s a flaw to be found in the 1950 “musical fable of Broadway,” based on characters created by journalist/short story writer Damon Runyon, it’s not in Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows’ drum-tight book. And it’s certainly not in Frank Loesser’s honey of a score." - New York Stage Review

Revised "Guys & Dolls"

Greetings, 

 

I had heard through the grapevine that the revised version of Guys & Dolls is available to license.  Please let me know.  If it's not, has the original music be re-engraved using a music writing program such as Finale or Sibelius?  The last time I did the show (20 years ago) it was in the "handwritten" jazz font which is very difficult to read for contemporary students.

Thanks,

B.

Good day,

Our middle/high school program is considering doing Guys and Dolls this coming year but we'd like to make some script changes to better fit our equity statement and remove some of the sexist themes that are unneeded to enjoy the beautiful story. What is the process for submitting script adjustments and how ameanable is MTI to such changes? 

 

Best,

Kianna

Please could you confirm whether Guys and Dolls is likely to be released for amateur licnsing in the near future as I'm not aware of any West End or touring productions? It would be the perfect show for our group currently.

Request re show availability

Are orchestrations for the 1992 version of Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat available?
We are producing Guys and Dolls this fall and we'd very much like to do the version of Sit Down You're Rockin the Boat that was done in the 1992 revival. The last time I directed this show (16 years ago) that is not the version we received. Is that version available?
