Tony Award-Winning Musical

A Musical Fable of Broadway, based on a story and characters of Damon Runyon.

Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser

Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows

Directed by Mark Clements

Experience Guys and Dolls as you never have before, up close and personal in the intimate Quadracci Powerhouse. 

After sold-out productions of Ragtime and Dreamgirls, Mark Clements reunites with Olivier Award-winning choreographer Stephen Mear for a dazzling new production of Guys and Dolls. This celebrated musical comedy follows two small-time gamblers as they pursue love and luck from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba.

It's no surprise that it tops Entertainment Weekly's of "Greatest Musicals of All Time," as this granddaddy of American musicals has it all ~ show-stopping numbers, a timeless story, and some of the best show tunes ever, including "Luck Be a Lady," "A Bushel and a Peck," and "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat."It's a sure bet that you'll leave the theater with a smile on your face!

Approximate Run Time: Two hours and 30 minutes with one intermission (1:30 PM - 4:00 PM)

Learn more by visiting the Guys and Dolls webpage regarding the cast, video clips of cast performances, interviews & rehearsals, and all the latest news as opening day (September 19) draws near. 

Guys and Dolls will be staged in the large, yet intimate Quadracci Powerhouse Theater. For information including photos about this unique theater venue, click here.  

The Quadracci Powerhouse Theater is handicapped accessible. There is handrail support on each row as you descend and ascend the aisle.  

Rep In-Depth  an optional, but highly recommended, lively and informative 30-minute pre-talk which starts 45 minutes before every performance in the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater and runs from 12:45 PM to 1:15 PM. It is free and you can drop in any time during the course of the talk. 

Accessibility Policy. On the Badger Bus, you must be able to climb steps to board and exit the bus. If you need assistance, we recommend that you bring a friend to give you a hand.

Guest Policy Members must register their guests. Each PLATO member is entitled to bring one non-member guest per bus trip. (Members may bring more than one guest near the registration Deadline Date if seats are available. Check with trip organizer.) Non-member guests pay an additional $15.00 registration fee. PLATO Membership is $60.00/year.

Enjoy lunch in lakefront Calatrava Cafe. Members $30/Guests $40.                                                            

LUNCH is on your own*
Our bus will make two neighborhood lunch stops:
First, at Milwaukee Public Market for the Historic Third Ward, and

Second, at the Milwaukee Rep for downtown areas surrounding the theater.

*Group Lunch Option is available to those who want to register, but may be hesitant...not knowing anyone and uncomfortable eating alone. The group option lunch addresses  this concern and is a good way to make new theater trip friends. Just answer "Yes"  to Group Lunch questions on the registration form and we will take care of the rest. Restaurant to be determined.

Milwaukee Public Market (11:00 AM)
