Luck, be a lady tonight!
Guys & Dolls, one of the finest, most awarded Broadway musicals ever written explodes to life in a brand-new production made for our spectacular harbour-side stage! 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 and even bigger song and dance numbers 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.
There’s nowhere better to experience a tale of romance and comedic mayhem than Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour. Kick up your heels, raise a glass of something bubbly as the sun sets over the water and grab a bite at one of the pop-up restaurants. Then take your seat for an unforgettable, feel-good night of song and dance, with fireworks at every performance.
The stakes are high, don’t miss out!
