Guys & Dolls on Sydney Harbour

Opera Australia is bringing back the 50s in a big way, with the four-time Tony Award-winning musical Guys and Dolls! This time, audiences won’t be cooped up in a theatre: instead, watch the show with Sydney Harbour twinkling in the distance in the Handa Opera House. You will be thrown into all the New York action, caught up with its wild ensemble dance numbers and witty humor. With the sharp humor of Joe Swerling and Abe Burrows, get ready to be immersed in showgirls, gamblers, gangsters, and glamor. Luck, be a lady tonight!

The Story

Meet Nathan Detroit. His pockets are empty, but his rap sheet is full. Desperately searching for funds to support his unlawful craps games, he’s busy trying to dodge the cops. Poor Miss Adelaide is in despair, wanting him to quit gambling and finally put a ring on this 14-year engagement!

Things change when he meets high-roller Sky Masterson, who is looking to win big and they make a wager to get any woman to accompany him to Cuba. Their target? Sister Sarah Brown of the Save-A-Soul Mission, who is failing in her quest to save New York. Get your tickets to find out who wins between the guys and the dolls!
