Sweet Charity

From the Company that presented 'Cats', 'The Boy From Oz' and most recently 'West Side Story' comes ... 'Sweet Charity'

Sweet Charity follows the life and loves of Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess who consistently longs for the day when Mr Right will come along and sweep her off her feet. In the meantime she lives each day as a gullible, yet eternal, optimist and we follow her through a series of misadventures at the seedy Fan-Dango Ballroom, the lavish Pompeii Club and at the Rhythm Of Life Church. Through it all Charity remains hopeful that good things will come to her in her life.

Sweet Charity is a tender, poignant, yet consistently funny musical, noted for it's rich costumes and dazzling dance routines. Originally conceived, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, Sweet Charity's memorable score features such well known hits as If My Friends Could See Me Now, Rhythm Of Life, There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This, Hey Big Spender and the hauntingly beautiful Where Am I Going?

Sweet Charity premiered on Broadway in 1966 and was nominated for twelve Tony Awards. This moving fable about love lost and found has left a permanent mark in the history of musical theatre and remains a favorite of audiences worldwide.
