Sweet Charity

Freud Playhouse

Based on Federico Fellini's "Nights of Cabiria," SWEET CHARITY was director Bob Fosse's riotously colorful valentine to his then-wife, Broadway dancing phenomenon Gwen Verdon. Premiering in 1966, it was nominated for 9 Tony Awards. The story centers on Charity's life as a dance hall hostess "with a heart of gold," determined to break out of the Fan-Dango Ballroom. She sings and dances to such rousing classics as "Big Spender" and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."
