Winner! Best Musical – Evening Standard Theatre Awards 2023

MUST END 4 JANUARY 2025

Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, Guys & Dolls is now in its final weeks at the Bridge Theatre in London.

Nicholas Hytner directs a thrilling immersive production of this much-loved Broadway classic, with the seating of the Bridge Theatre wrapped around the action, transporting audiences to the streets of Manhattan and the bars of Havana in this unlikeliest of love stories. 

A fabulous cast includes Owain Arthur (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) as Nathan Detroit, George Ioannides (An Officer and a Gentleman) as Sky Masterson, Gina Beck (Matilda, The Sound of Music, Wicked) as Sarah Brown, Timmika Ramsay (Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Adult Material) as Miss Adelaide and Jonathan Andrew Hume (Come From Away, The Lion King) as Nicely-Nicely Johnson.

Guys & Dolls is the sizzling New York tale of gamblers, gangsters and nightclub singers, featuring some of Broadway’s greatest show-stopping tunes, including Luck be a Lady, Adelaide’s Lament, and Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat.

Get immersed right into the action with the smooth Sky Masterson, sweet, cold-prone Miss Adelaide, no-good Nathan Detroit and the straight-talking, gambling-opposing Sarah Brown for this unmissable feel-good show.

Guys & Dolls is playing at the Bridge Theatre in London until 4 January 2025.

Nathan Detroit is desperate: he needs money for an illegal dice game, and he needs it fast. Not to mention a 14-year engagement with nightclub singer Miss Adelaide, whose patience is finally running out.

Enter notorious gambler Sky Masterson, a guy who can never turn down a bet, and straight-laced missionary Sarah Brown, a doll with a heart of ice.

Nathan’s wager is that Sky has to romance Sarah by taking her to Havana for dinner and in return he’ll provide a dozen ‘sinners’ for Sarah’s mission.

Surely this is one bet Nathan absolutely can’t lose?
