SWEET CHARITY Comes to the Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre

The Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre will become home to Neil Simon's musical comedy Sweet Charity for two weekends. Set to open on Friday, August 21, Sweet Charity continues through Sunday, August 30. Performances are Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 pm.

Charity Hope Valentine is the girl who wants to be loved so much that she has lost sight of who she is. Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances with the "animal magnetism" hero, the "ultra-chic continental" hero, and the "impossible-to believe-but-he's-better than nothing" type hero. Her world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept across any stage. From her cynical, hard-core trio of girlfriends at the dance hall, to the phony evangelist, the Coney Island "fun people", the Central Park "strollers" and the YMHA "self-improvers," every character is interesting.

Cy Coleman's rhythms and Dorothy Fields' lyrics capture the sounds and vernacular of New York City in the 1960s. Coupled with Neil Simon's look at the amusing side of life, Sweet Charity includes such famous musical numbers as "Hey Big Spender," "If My Friends Could See Me Now" and "I'm a Brass Band Baby" among others. Starring in the Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre production of Sweet Charity is Jaimie Geddes as Charity Hope Valentine. Open Air audiences know Jaimie from previous seasons at the outdoor venue and her portrayals of Velma Kelly in the 2012 production of Chicago the Musical, June in the 2013 production of Gypsy and most recently as Brooke Wyndam in this season's production of Legally Blonde the Musical.

The Washington Crossing Open Air Theatre production of Sweet Charity will be performed on Friday, August 21, Saturday August 22 and Sunday, August 23 at 7:30 pm. The musical returns a second weekend of performances on August 28, 29 and 30 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children (ages 12 and under) and $12 for seniors (ages 65 and older.) Tickets can always be purchased at the Open Air Theatre Box Office a half-hour prior to the performance. Group discounts are available.
