Vibrantly set in 20th-century New York City, Guys & Dolls jumps from the streets of Times Square to the cafes of Havana and Cuba. No-good Nathan Detroit is desperately searching for the money to fund his illegal dice games, all whilst eluding law enforcement and his impatient fiancée Miss Adelaide, who demands that he quit his antics and relocate to the suburbs. When Nathan meets infamous gambler Sky Masterson, a man with an insatiable appetite for raising the stakes, they make a bet, that Sky cannot persuade any woman to go to Cuba with him, the nominated woman - Sergeant Sarah Brown of the Save-A-Soul-Mission, a woman with a heart of ice, probably the hardest to charm… surely this is one bet that Nathan can’t lose?
