Inspired by Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria, Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in New York City. With a tuneful, groovy, mid-1960s score by Cy Coleman, sparkling lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and a hilarious book by Neil Simon, 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," "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This," "Rich Man's Frug," and "Rhythm of Life"

Sweet Charity will star NYC Guest Artist and Actors Equity Association member, Johanna Schlitt Lacy in the role of Charity Hope Valentine! Johanna is a Charleston native and the daughter of local music maestros Maida Libkin and Bill Schlitt, co-founders and directors of The Sound of Charleston. Johanna is also a former student of C-PAC Artistic Director, Kirk Sprinkles Pfeiffer. Other guest artists include: Dillon Smith as Oscar Lindquist and Khawon Porter as Daddy Brubeck.
