guys and dolls

Based on Damon Runyon’s short stories about Prohibition-era New York City — and with a memorable score (“Luck Be a Lady,” “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat”) by Frank Loesser — Guys and Dolls is considered to be one of Broadway’s all-time greatest musicals. From gangsters, gamblers, and showgirls to the do-gooders at the Save a Soul Mission, the show is chockablock with characters as unique as the city they inhabit. Catch the Westchester Broadway Theatre’s production of this multiple Emmy-winner through June 9. Call or visit Web site for exact schedule. $52-$80. • 1 Broadway Plaza, Elmsford. 914-592-2222 or www.broadwaytheatre.com

secret garden tour

Formal gardens, pastoral fields, flower beds, leafy landscapes — all are part of Putnam County’s Secret Garden Tour. Take a self-guided drive to both private and public garden sites throughout the county, each of which boasts beautiful blooms of every description. This year’s lineup includes Stonecrop Garden in Cold Spring (with its unusual Bamboo Grove) and Boscobel in Garrison (whose Rose Garden has a jaw-dropping view of the Hudson). June 8 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. $30 in advance, $40 on the day — with proceeds benefiting Putnam ARC, which offers support to local children and adults with developmental disabilities. • 845-278-7272, ext. 2287 or www.partnerswithparc.org
