Don’t expect a traditional Guys & Dolls from Antipodes Theatre Company. Expect to feel the heat of Havana and the raw energy of New York City in an immersive re-imagining as only they can deliver. 

This musical masterpiece continues to delight audiences 70 years after its premiere. Our production embraces the ‘musical fable’ of the title by reflecting the passion and politics of 2023, showcasing the characters as you’ve never seen them before. Taking place entirely inside a prohibition-era nightclub, audiences can experience an evening of reckless abandon, visceral romance, and - above all - unwavering hope that we as a society can embrace and support each other as our chosen family would. 

Based on the stories of Damon Runyon and featuring the songs “Luck Be a Lady”, “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “Adelaide’s Lament”, this is sure to be a highlight of the 2023 musical theatre season.
