Jerry Herman Ring Theatre Closes its 2007-08 Season with Some ‘Guys and Dolls’
April 16 – 26, 2008

CORAL GABLES, FL – (March 24, 2008) The University of Miami’s Department of Theatre Arts’ 2007-2008 season concludes this April with their production of Guys and Dolls at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre, 1312 Miller Drive, Coral Gables. 

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical version of New York City, this screwball romantic comedy — considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy — soars with the spirit of Broadway. Featuring a hilarious, fast-paced book and a brash, bright, and brassy score, Guys and Dolls takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana and even into the sewers of New York City. Funny and romantic, full of crooks, do-gooders and dames, Guys and Dolls is American musical theatre at its very best.

Show dates are April 16 – 26. Ticket prices are weeknights: Regular admission: $18; Seniors, UM faculty/staff/alumni: $16; Students: $8. Friday & Saturday nights: Regular admission: $20; Seniors, UM faculty/staff/alumni: $18; Students: $10. Group rates for 10 or more available.
