The musical begins badly for Charity, a trusting, romantic dime-a-dance hostess at the Fan-Dango ballroom. She is dumped by her fiancé, who abandons her in a lake and makes off with her savings! |
||
|
True romance beckons with a famous film star, Vidal Vittorio, and then, more optimistically, with Oscar Lindquist, a tax accountant whom she meets when they get stuck in a lift, (sorry, an 'elevator'), at the local YMCA. |
||
|
Is this the real thing? Is this the marriage that Charity has so long sought to deliver her dream of a perfect partnership? |
||
|
"Sweet Charity", first performed in 1967, is based on Fellini's "Nights of Calabinia". |
