The Broadway musical Guys and Dolls is based on Damon Runyon's characters, who are lower class people of New York, such as gamblers, chorus girls, and street vendors.
The play revolves around gamblers who are looking for a place to hold the world's biggest crap game and then end up holding it in the sewer.
