ROUTE 66 begins in Chicago and travels along the famed ‘Main Street of America’ to the coast of California. A large car radio delivers us to each new destination along our journey, with DJs and actual vintage radio ads building excitement along the way. I...n the beginning we hear a radio DJ welcome us to Chicago, and four service station attendants burst into THE TEXACO STAR THEME. Each actor introduces himself to the audience in this string of hits: LET’S GO FOR A RIDE; BRING MY CADILLAC BACK; HOT ROD QUEEN; EVERY WOMAN I KNOW. The station bells ring, and it’s time to head out onto the open road with ROUTE 66. We continue our trip across the country, traveling the great Mother Road in song. The musical journey, like the road, ends in California. Here, the audience is introduced to the California sound of the 60s as we reach the outskirts of Los Angeles in THE LITTLE OLD LADY FROM PASADENA and DEAD MAN’S CURVE.

Guys and Dolls plot involves a Times Square citizen by the name of Nathan Detroit, who maintains the "Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York." Seeking a location for his latest high-stakes game, Nathan has an opportunity to rent out the ...Biltmore Garage, but he needs $1000 to do so. He decides to extract the money from high-rolling Sky Masterson, known for his willingness to bet on anything. Nathan wagers that Sky will not be able to talk the starchy Salvation Army lass Sarah Brown into going on a date with him. While Sky goes to work on wooing Sarah, Nathan fends off his own girlfriend Miss Adelaide, who has developed a psychosomatic cold because of her frustrating 14-year engagement to the slippery Nathan. Thanks to some fast finagling, Sky is able to take Sarah on that date, flying to Havana for this purpose. By the time they've returned to New York, Sky and Sarah are in love, but their romance cools off abruptly when Nathan, unable to secure the Biltmore Garage, attempts to use Sarah's mission as the site of his crap game. With memorable musical numbers such as “I’ll Know”, “A Bushel and a Peck”, “If I Were a Bell” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat” Guys and Dolls is certain to be an entertaining children’s production.
