Sweet Charity Melbourne Dates
Arts Centre Melbourne is delighted to announce that Sweet Charity, the smash-hit production, will play from 25 February – 8 March 2015 as part of a national tour.
After premiering at Hayes Theatre Co in February 2014 Sweet Charity received rave reviews, played to a sold-out audience, and won three Helpmann Awards, including Best Female Actor in a Musical for Verity Hunt-Ballard. Now it’s Melbourne’s time to experience the rough, wrenching, and gorgeous musical theatre experience that left Sydney wanting more!
If you believe in something hard enough, then eventually it has to come true, right? Charity Hope Valentine is the eternal optimist - a worldview that puts her distinctly at odds with her co-workers in a seedy, run-down dance hall. Dancing with man after man to pay her rent, she dreams of finally being whisked out of there and rescued by love. But can Charity wish her way into making love come true?
Sweet Charity is directed by Dean Bryant, and choreographed by Andrew Hallsworth - both of whom won Helpmann Awards for their roles in the production, with Musical Direction by Andrew Worboys, and costume design by Academy Award and Tony winner Tim Chappel. It boasts an outstanding list of musical theatre stars led by Verity Hunt-Ballard, who won a Helpmann Award for Charity and her star-making role as Mary Poppins. Cast members include Helpmann nominees Martin Crewes (Dr Zhivago), and Debora Krizak (A Chorus Line)
