South High School presented the musical Guys and Dolls on Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. in the school’s Ruel E. Tucker Auditorium.

Based on the Broadway stories of Damon Runyon, Guys and Dolls tells the tale of Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. That “next girl” is Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer. Meanwhile, Nathan is having trouble with his own girlfriend, Adelaide, who after 14 years of dating is ready for marriage. 

Guys and Dolls is a cornerstone of the musical comedy stage that continues to delight audiences 75 years after its Broadway premiere. Featuring the songs “Luck be a Lady” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” this musical is the perfect balance of story, dance, music, and romance.

This musical is under the direction of Ilana Meredith, Theatre South director/ drama teacher.
