Hailed as “the perfect musical comedy,” this brassy musical inspired by the short stories of Damon Runyon follows its cast of ne’er-do-wells from the seedy, shadowy side of New York City to the sweltering streets of Havana and back as they look to win big — on their gambling wagers and in love alike — and find a different kind of redemption along the way.

Experience the splendor of Frank Loesser’s classic Broadway score, featuring beloved numbers "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," "I've Never Been in Love Before," "Luck Be a Lady," and the famed title song, performed by an all-star cast and the lush sound of the Lyric Opera Orchestra.
