Escape to flashy Manhattan in the 1950s: a colourful, larger-than-life world of showgirls and gangsters, set against the backdrop of Sydney’s glittering harbour.

High-roller Sky Masterson is looking to win big, but everything changes when he takes a gamble on Sister Sarah Brown, a missionary whose quest to save New York isn’t going quite to plan. At the same time, Miss Adelaide is hoping her engagement of 14 years might finally result in a wedding, but her fiancée, Nathan, has half the city’s gamblers breathing down his neck.

Guys & Dolls on Sydney Harbour is multi-award winning musical theatre at its show-stopping best. The score is packed with huge hits, including Luck Be a Lady, Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat, Adelaide’s Lament and I’ve Never Been in Love Before. Expect big laughs in this energetic new staging directed by Shaun Rennie, choreographed by Kelley Abbey and with a grand set designed by Tony Award-winning theatrical legend Brian Thomson.
