The 1955 movie starred Frank Sinatra as Nathan Detroit, Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson, Jean Simmons as Sarah Brown and Vivian Blaine as Miss Adelaide.

Nathan, a gambler, needs to find a place to hold a high stakes craps game. But the "heat" is on and all the regular places are either off limits or require a large down payment that Narthan does not have. So Nathan comes up with a sucker bet for Sky Masterson. Nathan bets Sky that he can not get local Missionary, Sarah Brown, to go out on a date with him. But Sky bamboozles Sarah into going to Cuba with him. She thinks she will be doing some missionary work on the trip. But needless to say that is not what Sky has planned nor what really happens. Cubra Libre anyone?
This musical is full of fun songs such as:
A Bushel And A Peck
Guys & Dolls
If I Were A Bell
Take Back Your Mink
Luck Be A Lady Tonight
Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat
All the cast members were wonderful in their roles. The four leads had lovely singing voices and shined in their solo numbers. The stage setting was inventive and the costumes, hairstyles and makeup reflected the 1950's.

Sky won a big bet while he was singing "Luck Be A Lady Tonight", so maybe next time you buy a lottery ticket sing that song and perhaps you will get lucky too!!
This was another fun time at the Granbury Opera House!
