In 2009 it was again brought to the Broadway stage and received a Tony nomination for best revival of a musical. The 1992 revival with Peter Gallagher, Nathan Lane and Faith Prince ran almost as long as the original production and won a Tony for Best Revival, as well as a Grammy for the cast album. The film version, starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra & Vivian Blaine (recreating her role as Adelaide), had the highest box-office gross of 1955.ДЄ 1976 revival, featuring Robert Guillaume and an all-black cast, ran for 239 performances. Unfortunately, because of Burrows' troubles with the House Un-American Activities CommitteeВ (HUAC), no Pulitzer for Letters was awarded in 1951. It was also selected as the winner for the Pulitzer PrizeВ in Letters. With music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and book by Joe Swerling and Abe Burrows, the original production opened on Broadway Novemand ran for 1,200 performances, winning 8 Tony Awards (including music & lyrics) and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. While the worldly Sky works his charms on a wary Sarah, Nathan is doing his best to stay outside the matrimonial clutches of his long-suffering fiancГ©e, Miss Adelaide. Nathan Detroit bets Sky Masterson that he cannot persuade Save-A-Soul Missionary Sister Sarah Brown to accompany him on a trip to Cuba. Guys and Dolls tells the overlapping stories of high-roller Sky Masterson, who falls in love with mission worker Sarah Brown, and the lovably yoked Nathan Detroit, engaged for 14 years to Miss Adelaide, a headliner at the Hot Box Club. Based on two of his short stories, 'The Idyll of Miss Sarah BrownвЂќ and 'Blood Pressure', Guys and Dolls also borrows characters and story elements from a few other Runyon stories, most notably 'Pick The WinnerвЂќ. Though Runyan died in 1946, his fantastical world of scoundrels became canonized in the 1950 musical Guys and Dolls. Runyon rarely gave his characters traditional names, instead bestowing on them illustrative monikers such as вЂњNathan DetroitвЂќ, вЂњBenny SouthstreetвЂќ, вЂњHarry The HorseвЂќ, вЂњBig JuleвЂќ, вЂњAngie the OxвЂќ, вЂњRusty CharlieвЂќ and вЂњNicely Nicely JohnsonвЂќ to name a few. His characterвЂ™s distinctive vernacular style, known as 'Runyonese' is a mixture of formal speech and colorful slang, almost always in present tense, and always devoid of contractions.

His humorous and sentimental tales of gamblers, hustlers, actors, and gangsters became so popular that the term 'Runyonesque' quickly became a favorite adjective applied to anything that resembled the situations and dialogue he spun into his stories. However he is most remembered for his short stories that comically fictionalized the colorful characters populating New York City during the ProhibitionВ era.

Runyan covered everything from sports and general news to political and international op-eds.
