“Guys and Dolls” Sings, Swings and Swindles its Way into Atlanta’s Heart

Still a top bill after more than 60 years, Broadway's Guys and Dolls is a rollicking comedy about the taking a risk on romance. Through Sunday evening, come explore the intricacies of love and discover the price of a holy roller's heart and soul!

Guys and Dolls
Fox Theatre
Through Sunday, August 21


Touted as "the perfect musical", the Tony Award-winning Guys and Dolls is a charming rom-com packed with catchy tunes, hilarious stereotypes and intricate sets. Swinging and swindling their way through the seedy streets of New York, Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit - two high-stakes gambling gents - try to beat the odds and get lucky in love.

The storyline (now a personal favorite) tells the tale of the love-worn Adelaide and her well-meaning yet selfish 14-year beau, while the righteous and religious Sister Sarah Brown finds, denies and finally gives into love with a seductive sinner. Tag along as the much-lauded score discusses the reasons why a lazy slob takes a good steady job ("Guys and Dolls",) how waiting around for a little band of gold can cause a cold ("Adelaide's Lament",) when a girl should "Marry The Man Today" and change his ways tomorrow; and how to save your soul ("Rocking The Boat".) With brilliant choreography and captivating characters, Guys and Dolls is sure to remain a hit for another 60 years!

Showtime for Guys and Dolls is 8 p.m. through Saturday, and 7 p.m. on Sunday at the fabulous Fox Theatre. Two matinees are also available at 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets start at just $30 and can be purchased online or at the box office. Remember: follow the Fox or become a Facebook fan to get last-minute deals and insider info on upcoming shows!
