A Musical Fable of Broadway
Based on a Story and Characters of Damon Runyon
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
What do gamblers, night club singers and the Salvation Army have in common? Well, nothing really except for when you put them all in a musical and call it Guys and Dolls. The Broadway and film favorite explodes in a spectacular production at the CPA. Frank Loesser’s sensational score, including “Luck Be a Lady,” “If I Were a Bell,” “A Bushel and a Peck,” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” is one of Broadway’s best. Plus, between the years of 1951-1992,
Guys and Dolls has won a total of 9 Tony® Awards! No wonder Time Magazine calls it “The Greatest of all American Musicals.”
At the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 8 & UP
$14.75 – $74.00

THE CRITICS RAVE!
“One of the snappiest revivals to hit the Center for the Performing Arts in quite some time…. A bushel and a peck of good, old-fashioned musical theater gusto!”
"AMTSJ breathes full-blown life back into a Broadway classic. It's a sure bet!"
“American Musical Theatre of San Jose lives up to its promise of delivering Broadway quality shows with its production of Guys and Dolls… The production never misses a beat. The cast is excellent, with standout lead performances… If this production is any indication of shows to follow, I'd suggest ordering season tickets quickly.”
“If we had to describe the new AMTSJ production of GUYS AND DOLLS with a single world, that word will be DASHING.”
“It’ll be a shame if you miss it!… Beautifully done and I loved the choreography.”
“Energetic and sprightly. Under the direction of Stephen Bourneuf, this winning musical comedy fairly bubbles along, thanks to terrific material and a talented cast….The choreography by Vince Pesce is outstanding… A great way for a musical company to start is 73rd season.”
“An absolute celebration of Broadway and the musical… Solid entertainment… Guys and Dolls is what a Broadway musical should be — all fun…Get a ticket, it's a sure thing.”
