Guys and Dolls

Guys and Dolls at OneAmerica Mainstage - Indiana Repertory Theater

Big personalities, crooked bets and unexpected romance keep this Broadway comedy moving. Spending a Thursday night at Guys and Dolls at the OneAmerica Mainstage in Indianapolis is one of the smart ones. This is a musical about big gambles and bigger feelings, and it begins with a wager: one gambler sets out to win the heart of a missionary. That's exactly why you'll want to see how it plays out.

The fun comes from watching two worlds collide. On one side are the gamblers, with their schemes and their dice games. On the other is a missionary with real convictions and no interest in being anyone's long shot. Meanwhile, a second gambler is dodging marriage to his long-engaged fiancée while he tries to keep that dice game running. Love and trouble pile up together in a New York built from Damon Runyon's stories and characters. It's a comedy of romantic predicaments, and every one of them is tangled up with the others.

Frank Loesser wrote the music and lyrics, and Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows wrote the book. Indiana Repertory Theatre's production, running April 7 through May 9, 2027, brings in director Lili-Anne Brown, choreographer Breon Arzell and music director Andra Velis Simon. That's a local creative team shaping a classic for the room you'll be sitting in. Pick your seats for the May 6 performance at 7:30 PM, and grab your tickets for Guys and Dolls in Indianapolis.
