With a tuneful, groovy, mid-1960s score and a hilarious script, SWEET CHARITY captures all the energy, humor, and heartbreak of life in the big city for an unfortunate, but irrepressible optimist. Iconic musical numbers include: Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, and Rich Mans Frug.CHARACTER BREAK DOWN:*All ethnic backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
