Breakdown
Timed to the 50th Anniversary of the classic musical Sweet Charity, this production stars two-time Tony Award winner Sutton Foster as Charity Hope Valentine, the sassy, diehard romantic dancehall hostess at the Fandango Ballroom, whose naivety and overeager embrace of every man she meets keeps getting her in hot water. Performed in an intimate setting with new choreography by Joshua Bergasse (On the Town), this production directed by Leigh Silverman (Violet, Well) brings a fresh, modern perspective to the age-old story of a woman who thinks she needs a man to save her.
CHARITY HOPE VALENTINE - ROLE CAST
NICKY
30s to 40s (Mezzo-Soprano, Low F to D) – Charity’s fellow dancer at the Fandango Ballroom, and closest friend. Has done prison time, but sympathetic and lively. A great friend and a fun gal. Excellent dancer and singer.
HELENE
30s to 40s (Mezzo-Soprano, Low F to D) – Charity’s fellow dancer and friend at the Fandango Ballroom. Hardened and smart-mouthed, often sarcastic. Sees through the bullshit, but keeps an eye on Charity. Excellent dancer and singer.
HERMAN/VITTORIO VIDAL/DADDY BRUBECK
30s to 50s (Baritenor to High A) – plays three major roles: Herman, the tough, dry, working class New Yawk manager of the Fandango Ballroom; Vittorio Vidal, a romantic but slightly faded Italian movie star; and Daddy Brubeck, the head of a downtown alternative church and a charismatic, inspirational leader. Needs to be a chameleon, adept at playing multiple roles, at comedy, and full of charisma.
OSCAR LINDQUIST
late 30s to 40s (Baritone, low B to F#) – Charity’s love interest. A good-natured, upright and genuinely sweet guy who is also phobic, insecure, and shy. He’s looking for new experiences and also looking for love, and thinks he’s found it in Charity – but can’t make up his mind. Unintentionally charming, and kind of messed up.
