SWEET CHARITY
July 16-25, 2010 with 2:00 pm & 7:30 pm shows
This is a bright and sophisticated comedy. Wonderful musical numbers include “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” “There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This,” and “I’m a Brass Band.”
Meet Charity, the girl who wants to be loved so much that she has lost sight of who she is. 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” hero. From her cynical posse of girlfriends at the dance hall, to the phony evangelist, the Coney Island “fun people”, the Central Park “strollers” and the YMHA "self-improvers," every character is interesting.
