A “MUSICAL FABLE OF BROADWAY” with its roots in the picaresque tales of the low-lifers and witless gamblers of Damon Runyon’s Depression-era tales, Guys and Dolls is as durable a Broadway warhorse as ever galloped the stage since its premiere in 1950. At heart, it is a morality tale, its lessons of life as lightly worn as the buttock-skimming costumes of the dancers at the Hot Box nightclub where Adelaide (Marisha Wallace) struts her stuff as a feisty doll to Nathan Detroit’s (Daniel Mays, ) evasive fiancé.
