Directed by B. Michael Quale Choreographed by Jack Dyville
The musical highlights the world of Broadway in New York City that grew out of the Prohibition era. Many are trying to make a quick dollar by gambling. Gambler Nathan Detroit is under pressure to organize and unlicensed crap game while trying to avoid the police.
Nathan's life is further conplicated because his long time girlfriend wants to end her 14 year engagement and get married. She is upset with Nathan when she discovers Nathan is still gambling and even though she decides she won't marry him, she still believes they are meant for each other.
Nathan meets another long time gambler Sky Masterson. Needing a quick $1000, Nathan proposes a $1000 bet with Sky that he must take a girl of Nathan's Choosing to dinner in Havana. Nathan chooses a woman that runs the local mission and is trying to save sinners. Sky cajoles Sister Sarah into believing he wants to change. Sarah consents to have dinner with Sky when he promises her a full house of sinners at her next mission meeting.
While in Havanna, Sarah learns there is a world she is not familiar with. Sky realizes he is fallingfor Sarah and admits he brought her to Havana on a bet. Upon returning to Broadway, both Sarah and Miss Adelaide are trying to decide how they should deal with the men they love and yet not condone their gambling habits. As the 'sinners' attend the mission meeting, Sarah learns that Sky denied winning the bet (even though she knew he did) and Sarah realizes she can trust Sky. The story ends in a double wedding for Nathan, Miss Adelaide, Sky and Sarah.
