Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City (with several Philadelphia references), Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy - considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. It soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: 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.
Guys and Dolls was originally directed by George S. Kaufman. This family favorite ran for over 1,200 performances on Broadway, and won 5 Tony awards including Best Musical. The show was also made into a popular movie starring Frank Sinatra as Nathan and Marlon Brando as Sky. Due to its timeless and family-friendly content, there have been Broadway revivals of Guys and Dolls in 1955, 1965, 1966, 1976, 1992, 1995 (starring Nathan Lane as Nathan Detroit and Peter Gallagher as Sky Masterson), 2005, and most recently in 2009.
Performances will be on Thursday, February 28; Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2. All shows will start at 7:30pm.
Tickets will be available from Showtix4U.com starting February 14. Tickets are $12 pre-sale and $14 at the door.

Reflections Exhibit Opening & Meet the Artist Reception
7 to 9:30 p.m.
at the Society's Barn Visitors Center
The Chadds Ford Historical Society will host the “Reflections” exhibit opening and meet the artist wine and cheese reception to celebrate Michael P. Rocco’s extraordinary career of over 70 years devotion towards the arts.
To learn more about this award winning artist, visit Michael P. Rocco, A.W.S.
With his exceptional dedication and discipline, he has created some of the finest realistic watercolor paintings that one’s eye can experience. The “Reflections” exhibit is a means to honor his many accomplishments, recognitions and awards. With more than 36 solo exhibitions and as a signature member of the American Watercolor Society for over thirty five years, Michael continues to push the envelope of what an artist can do with watercolor medium and paper. His strikingly realistic technique is grounded in his schooling at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under such renowned artists as Daniel Garber, John McCoy and Francis Speight.
$10 admission includes the exhibit opening and reception. Free for CFHS members.
Visitors can also enjoy"Breakfast on the Brandywine"
in the museum's cafeteria-style
restaurant
Admission is free for members all day,
