La Comedia Dinner Theatre
Feb. 15-March 24
[Springboro]

This Broadway classic transports you to the colorful world of underground dice-slinging, and high-stakes romance amidst the hustle and bustle of 1950s New York City. Gambler Nathan Detroit’s focus is on his next big payoff, which could cost him the love of his life, as showgirl Adelaide’s growing frustration with getting Nathan to marry her continues to grow.

Bustling with deception and wit, reviving the soul, and gambling on love, the Tony® Award-winning Guys and Dolls is set to a golden era score including “Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat,” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before.”
