About the Show

The Bridge Theatre's immersive production of Frank Loesser's classic comedy musical.

Nathan Detroit’s efforts to find new place to house his notorious illegal crap games falls flat when he doesn’t have the money to secure a new venue. But along comes Sky Masterson, a high-rolling gambler willing to take on any honest bet with a high enough reward. Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take the “doll” of Nathan’s choosing to Cuba on a date. When Sky agrees to the bet, Nathan chooses highly-strung evangelical Christian Sergeant Sarah Brown, leading to the adventure of a lifetime.

This new immersive production by the Bridge will see seating wrapped around the action as audiences are transported to Manhattan & Havana in the unlikeliest of love stories.

'Guys and Dolls' is directed by Olivier & Tony Award-winning director Nicholas Hytner, with set design by the Olivier & Tony Award-winning Bunny Christie, and choreography by Arlene Phillips.

"...this is some of the best staging that we ever seen utilised"

“What Hytner and Christie have done so brilliantly is seamlessly integrate this stuff into mainstream musical entertainment. Not every show is going to benefit from staging along these lines. But as the era of the proscenium arch draws to a close, it feels like most directors of musicals could learn something from this.”

“The closeness of the crowd to the action generates remarkable energy and bonhomie...But the vigour comes not just from the intimacy, but from performances that feel fresh minted, that dig below the period cliché and the gambling lingo to discover the truth of misplaced loves and longings that lie beneath.”

“Here’s a dream production that dares you to imagine that you’re in the coolest nightspot in the Manhattan of yesteryear. It’s crowded and full of shady characters. And it’s sheer bliss. Frank Loesser’s realm of hustlers and gamblers comes gloriously to life in an immersive reworking of one of Broadway’s greatest shows.”
