GUYS AND DOLLS

A musical fable of Broadway

Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Can love beat the odds?

In the bustling streets of New York, a smooth-talking gambler wagers he can charm a pious missionary, while another high roller desperately fights to keep his game alive and his fiancée from walking away. In a city ruled by chance, love takes unexpected turns and both men soon discover they are risking far more than money.
