Biggar Theatre Workshop presents: Guys and Dolls
Guys and Dolls is one of the world's most popular musicals, thanks to its timeless combination of great tunes and a hilarious storyline, based on characters created by New York writer Damon Runyon.
"Most musicals have one outstanding element - hit songs, memorable dance routines or a great script," says David Bishop. "Guys and Dolls has got everything, it's a true triple treat."
