Under the starry shimmer of Brentwood’s night sky, the musical “Guys and Dolls” will grace the stage of the Brentwood Playhouse from July 16 to Aug. 1 at the Streets of Brentwood.

“Guys and Dolls” is the first installment of the three-part, summer series Broadway Under the Stars sponsored by the Brentwood Art Society in partnership with the Streets of Brentwood and Steve Kinsella, who will direct all three productions, which also include “Auction Gallery” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

Kinsella has been rehearsing with his cast for three weeks and expects the Broadway Under the Stars performances to delight guests who are familiar with “Guys and Dolls” or are experiencing it for the first time.

“Guys and Dolls,” a musical that follows the story of New York City gamblers and the ladies who love them, features classic songs such as “Luck Be a Lady” and “I’ve Never Been in Love Before.”

A special saddlespan stage has been brought to Brentwood from Los Angeles to give Broadway Under the Stars a polished look that will allow the audience to feel the glitz of Broadway without leaving East County.

Shows begin at 8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during each show’s run. Tickets are $17 for general admission and $15 for students and seniors. Refreshments, provided by Code Brew Coffee and More, will be available for purchase. To reserve your tickets, call 925-516-8500, ext. 203.
