Guys and Dolls is a musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows and is based on short stories by Damon Runyon. The show premiered on Broadway in 1950, where it ran for 1,200 performances and won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The musical has had several Broadway and London revivals, as well as a 1955 film adaptation starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. Act 1 of the show begins with a pantomime of never-ceasing activities depicting the hustle and bustle of New York City (Runyonland). This is followed by the Fugue for Tinhorns, in which three small-time gamblers, Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Benny Southstreet, and Rusty Charlie, (played in the 1955 movie by Stubby Kaye, Johnny Silver and Danny Dayton respectively) argue over which horse will win a big race. This arrangement is playable by SATB or AATB Saxophone Quartet. It is suitable for a wide variety of concert programs and settings. Duration is 1:35. Contact me at james.pybus56@gmail.com.
