May
Neil Simon's romantic comedy "SWEET CHARITY" is a tender, poignant and funny look at the misadventures of the gullible and guileless Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess who always gives her heart and her dreams to the wrong man.
Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through a string of disastrous romances, supported in her quest for true love by her fellow workers, who are always there to pick her up when things don’t quite go to plan.
With the comic wit of writer Neil Simon, and Bob Fosse’s stunning choreography, this show is a comedy spectacular! Musical numbers include Hey Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now and Rhythm of Life.
Check the website for performing days and session times.
Tickets: Adult - $25; Adult Concession - $22. Groups of 10 or more can purchase tickets at $20 per ticket.
