The flashy world of showgirls and gangsters from 1950s Manhattan springs to life when Guys & Dolls on Sydney Harbour premieres atop an overwater stage at Mrs Macquaries Point from 21 March to 20 April.

A brand new production of Guys & Dolls offers a high-octane, toe-tapping performance, and promises an unforgettable experience at one of the world’s most famous cityscapes, including world-class views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House and glittering city skyline.

Starring Cody Simpson, in a welcome return to the stage, with Annie Aitken, Bobby Fox, Angelina Thomson and Jason Arrow, each performance of Guys & Dolls on Sydney Harbour features a live orchestra, nightly fireworks and exclusive onsite bars and dining.

From five star luxury in the HSBC Platinum Club to casual cocktails in the Qantas Garden Bar, there’s something for every taste and budget. To guarantee a smooth experience, reservations for dinner and interval drinks at the HSBC Platinum Club are recommended and can be made when booking tickets.

Famous for its stunning backdrop, vast overwater stage and impressive sets, Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour is an annual event and one of the most exciting theatrical experiences in Australia each year.

Sydney is the major events capital of the Asia Pacific, hosting exclusive international sporting events, Australian premieres of blockbuster musicals and a world-class calendar of cultural events delivering more than $600 million into the local economy.
