Guys & Dolls: Broadway In Concert

Symphony Silicon Valley

Music & Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
Based on The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown by Damon Runyon

Songs like Adelaide's Lament, A Bushel and a Peck, I've Never Been in Love Before and Luck Be A Lady bring to life an irrepressible cast of characters in early 20th Century New York.

It all begins with a bet. Nathan Detroit bets high-rolling gambler Sky Masterson that Sky cannot persuade Save-A-Soul Missionary Sister Sarah Brown to accompany him on a trip to Cuba. While the worldly Sky works his charms on a wary Sarah, Nathan is doing his best to stay outside the matrimonial clutches of his long-suffering fiancée, Miss Adelaide. Guys and Dolls is a fable about what happens to gambling men and the women who long to tame them. Set in the colorful world of New York City in the mid 20th century, the romantic and funny story is populated with gangsters and gamblers, missionary dolls and scantily clad showgirls, and one of the great musical scores in the history of American theatre.

Broadway star Sarah Uriarte Berry, last seen as Eliza Doolittle in our concert version of My Fair Lady, will join us to play Sister Sarah.

Onstage with the Symphony Silicon Valley orchestra and chorus, Broadway luminaries along with other national and local musical theater notables, will bring you the music and story of Frank Loesser's Guys and Dolls--In Concert!
