As BroadwayWorld just reported, The New Group announced that its 2016-2017 Season will include the musical Sweet Charity, with choreography by Joshua Bergasse, directed by Leigh Silverman and starring two-time Tony Award winner Foster in the title role. Previews begin November 2016 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre (480 West 42nd Street).
Timed to the 50th Anniversary of the classic musical Sweet Charity, this production stars two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster ("Younger," Violet, Anything Goes) as Charity Hope Valentine, the sassy, diehard romantic dancehall hostess whose naivety and overeager embrace of every man she meets keeps getting her in hot water. Performed in an intimate setting with original choreography by Joshua Bergasse (On the Town), this production of Sweet Charity will be given a fresh, modern perspective by director Leigh Silverman (Violet, Well).
This won't be the first time that Foster has sung the role. Check out some of her past Charity performances below!
