Guys and Dolls is a musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. It is based on "The Miss Idyll Sarah Brown" and "Blood Pressure" - two short stories by Damon Runyon - and also borrowed characters and plot elements from other Runyon stories - especially "Pick the Winner".
The premiere broadcast on Broadway was in 1950. It played for 1200 shows and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. This musical has some revival of Broadway and London, as well as a 1955 film adaptation starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, and Vivian Blaine.
Guys and Dolls was selected as the winner of the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. However, due to the problems of Abe Burrows' writers with the Un-American House Activity Committee (HUAC), the Columbia University Supervisor vetoed the selection, and no Pulitzer for Drama was awarded that year.

âââ ⬠<â â¬
Guys and Dolls is conceived by producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin as an adaptation of Damon Runyon's short story. These stories, written in the 1920s and 1930s, the gangster in question, the gambler, and other characters from the underworld of New York. Runyon is known for the unique dialect he uses in his story, mixing a very formal language and slang. Frank Loesser, who spent most of his career as a lyricist for music movies, was hired as a composer and lyricist. George S. Kaufman was hired as a director. When the first version of the show's book, or dialogue, written by Jo Swerling was deemed unusable, Feuer and Martin asked radio comedy writer Abe Burrows to rewrite.
Loesser has written many scores to match the first version of this book. Burrows then remembers:
Fourteen Frank Loesser songs are all amazing, and [new books] have to be written so that the story will lead to each one. Then, critics talk about the show as 'integrated'. The word integration usually means that the composer has written songs that follow the storyline gracefully. Well, we reached it but we did it upside down.
The character of Miss Adelaide was specially created to fit Vivian Blaine into the musical, after Loesser decided she was not fit to play conservative Sarah. When Loesser suggested repeating some songs in the second half, Kaufman warned: "If you repeat the songs, we will repeat the jokes."

Synopsis
Act Me
An unending pantomime of activity illustrates the hustle and bustle of New York City ("Runyonland"). Three small gamblers, Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Benny Southstreet, and Rusty Charlie, argue about which horse will win the big race ("Fugue for Tinhorns"). The band members of the Save the Soul Mission, led by Sergeant Sarah Brown who is pious and beautiful, called for sinners to "Follow the Fold" and repent. A good businessman and Benny, Nathan Detroit, runs an illegal floating nonsense game. Due to the presence of local police Lt. Strong Brannigan, he found only one possible place to hold a match: "Biltmore garage." The owner, Joey Biltmore, needed a $ 1,000 bail, and Nathan went bust ("The Oldest Shaped"). Nathan hopes to win a $ 1,000 bet against Sky Masterson, a gambler who will bet on anything. Nathan made a bet, he was sure he would not lose: Sky had to take Nathan's chosen woman to dinner in Havana, Cuba. Sky agreed, and Nathan chose Sarah Brown. On a mission, Sky claims he wants to be saved, impressing Sarah with her knowledge of the Bible. He offers Sarah the deal: He will carry the mission of "a dozen true sinners" if he will accompany him to Havana the next night. Sarah rejects him, telling him that he's planning to fall in love with a straight and moral man. Sky replies that he plans to be surprised when he falls in love ("I'll Know"). Sky kissed Sarah, and she slapped him. Nathan went to watch his fiancee of 14 years, Adelaide, perform his nightclub action ("A Bushel and a Peck"). After the show, he asked him, as he often did before, to go to the town hall and get a marriage certificate. He's confused to know that Nathan is still running junk games. He consulted a medical book, telling him that his chronic fever was a psychosomatic reaction to his frustration with Nathan's failure to marry him ("Lamentations of Adelaide").
The next day, Good and Benny watched Sky chase Sarah, and Nathan tried to win back Adelaide support. They state that people will do anything for their beloved doll ("Guys and Dolls"). General Cartwright, leader of Save-a-Soul, visited the mission and explained that he would be forced to close the branch unless they managed to bring some sinners to the upcoming revival meeting. Sarah, desperate to save the mission, promised the General "a dozen true sinners", implicitly accepted Sky's deal. The gamblers, including the famous gangster from Chicago called Big Jule, are waiting for Nathan to secure a place for the game, and Lieutenant Brannigan becomes suspicious. To convince him of their innocence, they told Brannigan that their meeting was Nathan's "bachelor party." It satisfies Brannigan, and Nathan resigns to elope with Adelaide. Adelaide came home to pack up, promising to meet her after her show the following afternoon. The Save-A-Soul Mission band went by, and Nathan saw that Sarah was not in it; he realizes that he lost the bet and fainted.
At Havana's nightclub, Sky buys drinks for himself and a "Cuban milkshake" for Sarah. He did not realize that the drink contained Bacardi rum, and innocently drank many glasses, the easier it became. Outside the club, Sarah kissed Sky and stated that she really enjoyed herself for the first time in her life ("If I Were a Bell"). He wants to stay in Havana with Sky. Sky is shocked to find, though, that he really cares about Sarah's welfare, and he insists that they return to the airport and return to New York. Back in New York, it's 4pm, and when Sky and Sarah (now drunk) stand on the road outside the mission, Sky tells him that this is his favorite time, and that he is the only woman he has ever lived. wants to share it with ("My Time of Day"). They both spontaneously acknowledge that they are in love ("I Have Never Loved Before"). The sound of sirens and gamblers run out of missions, where Nathan has held the junk game. Sarah concludes that Sky took him to Havana and pretended to be in love with him so Nathan could use his mission for the game, refusing his innocent protest.
Act II
The following night, Adelaide performed the action on the Hot Box ("Take Back Your Mink"). Nathan does not appear to elope because he is still running a junk game. He soon realizes that Nathan has stood up again and turned to his book for convenience ("Adelaide's Second Lament").
Sarah admits to Arvide, her grandfather and her fellow mission, that she loves Sky but will never see her again because she believes she is responsible for the nonsense game the night before. Arvide expresses his faith which is inherent in the goodness of Heaven and urges Sarah to follow his conscience ("More I Can not Wish You"). Sky tells Sarah that she intends to send dozens of real sinners for revival. He did not believe him and left, but Arvide gently pushed him.
Well show the Sky where the game is being held: sewer ("Crapshooters Dance"). Big Jule has lost a lot of money and insists on playing on credit. To change his fortune, he uses his own dice, which is empty, and continues to deceive Nathan out of all his money. Sky then arrived well. Big Jule was not impressed, but Sky responded by hitting him. He then gave Nathan $ 1,000, saying that Nathan won the bet and implied that Sarah refused to go to Havana with him. Sky, determined to get the dozen sinners he promised Sarah, bet everyone on the game of a thousand dollars against their souls. If he loses, everyone gets a thousand dollars; if he wins, they all have to attend revival in mission ("Luck Be a Lady"). He throws the dice. The gamblers are on a mission, and it is clear that Sky has won the bet. On his way there, Nathan walked to Adelaide and told him that he had to attend a prayer meeting. Adelaide did not believe him. She asks herself why she continues to stick with Nathan's lies, and she tells him that she loves him ("Sue Me").
The sky and the gamblers arrive at the mission, surprising Sarah. General Cartwright asks if anyone wants to testify for their sins. Benny and Big Jule do, but another gambler named Harry The Horse let slip that Sky just took them to the meeting because he won their souls in a dice game. The general is very pleased with this because it shows that goodness can come out of evil. Trying to appear sorry, well creating a dream that drives him to repent, and the gamblers join the revivalist spirit ("Sit Down, You're Rockin 'the Boat"). Brannigan arrives and threatens to catch everyone for the nonsense game on Mission, but Sarah cleans them up, saying that no gamblers are on missions the night before. After Brannigan leaves, Nathan confesses that they are holding a junk game in missions. He also confessed with a bet he made with Sky about bringing Sarah to Havana. She adds that she won the bet, for Sarah's surprise, and she realizes that Sky wants to protect her reputation and must really care about her.
Sarah and Adelaide meet each other, and they sympathize and then decide to marry their man and reform them later ("Marry the Man Today"). A few weeks later, Nathan had opened a newspaper kiosk. Sky and Sarah just got married, and Sky plays drums in the band's mission. Adelaide and Nathan will be married on missions, and Sky tells Nathan that he will give eight to ten chances that he will be very happy. The title of this song is replicated ("Guys and Dolls" (Finale/Reprise)).

Director of Michael Buffong said, "Harlem pre-war is all about the frenzy.Creativity of the era was born from a unique collision of talent and circumstances when people fled from agriculture and oppress the south through the 'subway' became very urbanized and industrialized Most of our popular culture, from dance to music, has its roots in that period.We Guys and Dolls brought this all forward. "
Reviews mainly praised music, relocation to Harlem, and a sense of spectacle: The Guardian noted, "gamblers... are a group of sharp peacocks wearing rainbow hues." The Times commented, "Anyone who has the idea of ââmoving this classic music from one part of New York to another, just down the road, needs to be congratulated." This musical version of Frank Loesser, around the lives of the little gangsters and their 'puppets' who inhabited the belly in New York, transferred the action to Harlem at pre-war altitudes in 1939. This is Talawa's production with all-black players and that's great from the beginning. " The Observer states, "Relocation to Harlem, the production of classic Frank Loesser's new classic music preserves the threat of violence under a bright cartoon exterior."

Reception
Original Broadway production Guys and Dolls opened for unanimously positive reviews. Critics praised music's loyalty to Damon Runyon's style and characterization.

" William Hawkins of New York World-Telegram & amp; Sun states, "It recalls what [Runyon] knew about Broadway, that his crime was tinhorn, but his virtue was pure and young as Little Eva". Robert Coleman of the New York Daily Mirror stated, "We think Damon will love it as much as we do".
Books and scores are highly praised as well; John Chapman of the New York Daily News stated, "This book is an easy and fun work of humor.The music and lyrics, by Frank Loesser, are perfect for the show and have no excuse, that they achieve artistic victory ". Coleman stated, "Frank Loesser has written a score that will get great games in the juke box, over the radio, and in bistros around the country.The lyrics are very important because they help Burrows top jokes to continue the plot". In Brooklyn's The New York Times, Brooks Atkinson writes, "Loesser's lyrics and songs have the same appreciation of the material as a book, which is funny without self-conscious or mechanical".
Some critics assert that the work is very important for musical theater. John McClain of the American New York Journal stated, "This is the best and most exciting thing of its kind since Pal Joey This is a triumph and a joy." Atkinson stated, "we may also recognize that Guys and Dolls is a work of art.It's spontaneous and has a shape, style, and spirit." Chapman asserted, "In all departments, Guys and Dolls is a perfect musical comedy".
