Sweet Charity
Fandango Girl/Ensemble
Wheaton Drama | Summer 2025
Production Description
Based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano, 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. Musical numbers include: “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” and “I’m a Brass Band.”
