High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Guys and Dolls is a musical with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. It is based on "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" and "Blood Pressure", two short stories by Damon Runyon, and also borrows characters and plot elements from other Runyon stories, most notably "Pick the Winner." Premiering on Broadway in 1950, it ran for 1,200 performances and won the Tony Award for Best Musical, and has had several Broadway revivals as well as West End productions. Burrows actually replaced Swerling as writer of the play, and Guys and Dolls was apparently selected as the winner for the Pulitzer Prize in Letters. However, because of Burrows troubles with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), no Pulitzer for Letters was awarded that year in 1951, as the Trustees of Columbia University had the right of veto.
