Description
“Sensational” Sydney Morning HeraldIf you believe in something hard enough, then eventually it has to come true, right?
Critics and audiences are raving about Sweet Charity starring Award winning Verity Hunt-Ballard. "The most exciting musical theatre production I’ve seen in a long time” Jo Litson
Sweet Charity’s high-energy choreography and sharp-witted dialogue earned a knock-out nine 2014 Sydney Theatre Award nominations, winning three for Best Production of a Musical for Sweet Charity, Best Actress in a Leading Role for Verity Hunt-Ballard and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Debora Krizak. Also winning winning three Helpmann Awards in 2014 including Best Female Actor in a Musical for Verity Hunt-Ballard, Best Direction of a Musical for Dean Bryant and Best Choreography in a Musical for Andrew Hallsworth.
Debuting on Broadway in 1966, Sweet Charity features a memorable music score by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields including major hits like Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, and The Rhythm of Life. A combination of Neil Simon’s razor-sharp script and Bob Fosse’s direction and choreography were largely responsible for the musical’s distinctive and lasting identity.
