and originally conceived
for the stage by Bob
Fosse, “Sweet Charity” is
a tender, poignant and
consistently funny look at the adventures, or rather the misadventures, in
the ways of love encountered by the gullible and guileless lady known as
Charity Hope Valentine. Charity, a young New Yorker working as a dance
hall hostess, has few prospects in life but always dreams that there is
something better in store for her, even though she always gives her heart
and her dreams to the wrong man.
Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances with the
“animal magnetism” hero, the “ultra-chic continental” hero, and the
“impossible-to believe-but-he’s-better-than-nothing” type hero.
“ ‘Sweet Charity’ is set in

also includes choreography by Deanna Ross and musical direction and live
orchestra conducted by Don Adkins.
Composer Cy Coleman has captured the rhythms and sounds of the time,
and lyricist Dorothy Fields the vernacular and fun of New York.
The show is a comedy in every sense of the word, as playwright Neil Simon
has a particular talent for looking at the truly amusing side of life. Don’t
miss the classic song and dance numbers such as ”Big Spender,” “If My
Friends Could See Me Now,” “There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than
This,” and many more.
