Aspen, CO (March 16, 2026) – The Aspen Music Festival and School (Alan Fletcher, Munroe President and CEO) and Theatre Aspen (Jed Bernstein, Producing Director) announced today their seventh annual co-production: a musical fable of Broadway, Guys and Dolls in Concert, directed by Tony Award-nominated Jeff Calhoun and conducted by Andy Einhorn, will be performed with a full orchestra on Monday, July 13 at 7:30 PM and Tuesday, July 14 at 7:30 PM in the Michael Klein Music Tent.

Guys and Dolls, the classic Broadway musical comedy about gamblers, showgirls, and unlikely romances, features music and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Frank Loesser and a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, based on a story and characters of Damon Runyon. Filled with vivid characters and iconic songs, it follows a high-stakes bet that entangles a high roller and a straight-laced missionary in a rollicking story about love, luck, and the hustle of 1950 New York City.

Theatre Aspen proudly marks its seventh year of collaboration with the AMFS, continuing a partnership that has become a cherished tradition in the Aspen arts community, celebrating world-class talent and the magic of live performance, A collaboration which began in 2019 with a landmark concert version of South Pacific has since grown into a series of sold-out performances year after year. Together, the organizations have brought beloved musical theatre classics to life, including The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, and My Fair Lady, blending Theatre Aspen’s artistry with the extraordinary musicians of the Aspen Music Festival and School.

“Our partnership with AMFS is a summer highlight, not only for our two organizations, but for the Roaring Fork Valley community. We are so pleased to be working with them again on this truly iconic musical,” stated Bernstein.

“We are delighted to partner once again with Theatre Aspen to present the Broadway classic Guys and Dolls In Concert this summer,” stated Alan Fletcher. “Productions like this bring together the very best of Aspen’s performing arts community while giving our students the extraordinary experience of sharing the stage with acclaimed Broadway artists.”

Guys and Dolls is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

More details, including casting, will be announced shortly.

Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, April 14 via the AMFS’s box office. To purchase, please visit aspenmusicfestival.com/events/buy-tickets/.
