Middlesex County’s Plays-in-the-Park Presents “Guys and Dolls”
WHAT: Middlesex County invites residents to close out the 2026 season of Plays-in-the-Park with the notable musical, Guys and Dolls. From Wednesday, July 29, through Saturday, August 8, the musical will run nightly at 8 pm at the Stephen J. Capestro Theatre located inside Roosevelt Park in Edison.
ABOUT THE MUSICAL
Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, Guys and Dolls is an oddball romantic comedy. Gambler, Nathan Detroit, tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck; meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they've been engaged for fourteen years. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, and Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown, as a result. Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and even into the sewers of New York City, but eventually everyone ends up right where they belong.
