About Guys and Dolls...
Guys and Dolls revolves around a bet made by gambler Sky Masterson with Nathan Detroit, organizer of a floating crap game. Sky bets Nathan that he can woo any doll Nathan chooses and take her on a romantic Havana getaway. Nathan chooses the straight-laced Sarah Brown of the Salvation Army. The status of the bet, the crap game, and the end of the 14-year engagement of Nathan and his girl, Adelaide, result in confusion amidst great songs and dances.
