Guys and Dolls

Event by The Live Oak Theatre

Guys and Dolls is a musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. It is based on “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown” (1933) and “Blood Pressure”, which are two short stories by Damon Runyon, ^{and also borrows characters and plot elements from other Runyon stories, such as “Pick the Winner”.}

The show premiered on Broadway on November 24, 1950, ^{where it ran for 1,200 performances and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical has had several Broadway and London revivals, as well as a 1955 film adaptation starring Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, and Vivian Blaine, who reprised her role of Adelaide from Broadway.}

Guys and Dolls is considered one of the greatest Broadway musicals. In 1998, ^{Vivian Blaine, Sam Levene, Robert Alda and Isabel Bigley, along with the original Broadway cast of the 1950 Decca cast album, were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.}

 Seats are $25 for adults, $10 for children 13 and under with the purchase of an adult seat.  Guys and Dolls! will be performed over three weekends, Friday through Sunday, March 21 through April 6.

Our floor is used as an extension of our stage, so late seating can become very difficult. Late arrivals after the show begins may need to wait to be seated until intermission, depending on the production and if we are able to get you into your seats without obstructing the performance.

Seating policy: Seats are assigned by the box office staff generally in the order that reservations are made. If you have specific seating needs (wheelchair accessible, no steps, etc.) or if you would like to sit with someone who is purchasing their tickets separately, please include those requests in your ticket order OR email them to [email protected] and they will be taken into consideration when assigning seats. Requests for specific seats are NOT guaranteed (other than wheelchair accessible seats, walker accessible seats, and seats that don’t require steps, provided you have let us know of those needs in advance), but we will do our best to get you as close to your requested seat as possible.
