35 years after we first staged the production, Willoughby Theatre Company is excited to announce that the timeless classic SWEET CHARITY will return to Sydney’s North Shore in 2019!

SWEET CHARITY explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic, but comically hapless 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, humour and heartbreak of life in the ‘Big City’ for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist. With musical numbers including Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, Rhythm of Life and There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This, the return of this classic will be filled with dazzling choreography, costumes and sets, in a production sure to lift your spirits.
