WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With book by Neil Simon, music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Plaiano, Sweet Charity is a funny, poignant and tender look at the misadventures of Charity Hope Valentine, a dance-hall hostess who always gives her heart to the wrong man. With 14 classic songs including the show-stopping numbers "If My Friends Could See Me Now," "Big Spender" and "Where Am I Going?", this show is the story of one woman's belief that in the midst of adversity, she will find hope and the strength to know that someday all of her dreams will come true.

Christina Applegate has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat -- or, more precisely, from de jaws of de feet. Though she broke her right foot during the obstacle-ridden Sweet Charity road tour, the peppery television star has landed on both pegs. She's apparently done everything in her power to reach Broadway, and it has worked. The smart money said that it couldn't be done -- bets were even waged publicly with producers Barry and Fran Weissler -- but the smart money turns out to be wrong. Applegate is a singing, dancing, acting delight as Charity Hope Valentine, the dance-hall hostess with a heart of gold.
