Luck is a fickle lady

Nathan Detroit runs the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York. There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, but it’s no dice unless they have a place to gamble—and that takes dough. Nathan’s got a bet that high roller Sky Masterson can't land a date with a straight-laced Salvation Army doll, but love is never a sure thing. And his fiancée Miss Adelaide will walk out if she doesn’t walk down the aisle soon. What’s a poor guy to do? Put your money on this hilarious musical classic directed by Mary Zimmerman, who created OSF's 2012 smash hit The White Snake.

Theatrical haze and herbal cigarettes are used in this production.



Guys and Dolls - Chicos y muñecas


Duración: Dos horas con 25 minutos, incluyendo un intermedio.

La suerte es una dama inconstante.


Nathan Detroit dirige el más antiguo establecido juego de dados migrante de Nueva York. Hay ricachones tiradores de dados por todas partes, pero no tiene chiste si no hay en dónde jugar – y eso requiere de dinero. Nathan tiene una apuesta que el gran apostador Sky Masterson no puede ganarse una cita con la puritana muñeca del Ejército de la Salvación, pero el amor nunca es nada seguro. Y la prometida de Nathan, la Srta. Adelaide, lo abandonará si el noviazgo no termina muy pronto en matrimonio. ¿Qué puede hacer un triste chico? Apueste usted en esta graciosísima obra musical clásica dirigida por Mary Zimmerman, responsable del exitazo de OSF en 2012, The White Snake (La Culebra Blanca).

En esta producción se emplean la neblina teatral y los cigarrillos herbales.
