Set in Damon Runyon’s mythical New York City, this oddball romantic romp, considered by many to be the quintessential musical comedy, soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become theatrical legends.
Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight “mission doll,” out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love. Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she’s been engaged to the same man for 14 years. And Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.
Featuring the hit songs “I’ll Know”, “Luck Be A Lady,” and “Sit Down Your Rockin’ The Boat”.
Recommended for ages 13+.
