Directed by Ginger Morris
Choreography by Vincent Sandoval
Musical Direction by Michael McKelvey
Sweet Charity, based on Federico Fellini's screenplay Nights of Cabiria, was originally choreographed and conceived by Bob Fosse, with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and book by Neil Simon.
Top hats, canes, slinky costumes and Bob Fosse's stunning choreography typically outshine the true heart of this charming musical. The driving force is a young woman trying to find relevance and fulfillment in an America that didn’t readily offer opportunities to women. On a more universal level, it’s also about being trapped; trapped in dead-end jobs, toxic relationships, and the gender roles imposed by a rigid, unimaginative value system.
Featuring well known songs such as If My Friends Could See Me Now and Big Spender, Sweet Charity is an upbeat, touching tale of a young woman's search for Something Better...
