INTERVIEW: Cast set to bring classic musical Sweet Charity to Lancaster stage

A romantic musical featuring well-known songs and big dance routines is coming to the Lancaster Grand.

Sweet Charity follows the romantic trials and tribulations of Charity Hope Valentine, “a girl who wanted to be loved.”

Charity is a partner-for-hire at a dance hall in New York City and although the job may be decidedly undesirable, her hopeful romanticism and unfailing optimism help her reach for a life beyond.

In the past, she’s been strung along and hung out to dry by a series of bad relationships and lousier men.

When she meets the shy and neurotic Oscar, seemingly from another world, will she finally find true love at last?

Ahead of the show, Vanessa Whittle, Andrew Thompson, Shannon Whittle and Mark Elliott from Lancaster Red Rose AODS popped into the Beyond Radio studio for a chat

Sweet Charity is one of the most famous shows by legendary director/choreographer Bob Fosse with a laugh-a-minute script by the incomparable Neil Simon.

It features classic songs such as Hey Big Spender, Rich Man’s Frug, If My Friends Could See Me Now, There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This, Rhythm of Life and many more.

Sweet Charity is on at the Lancaster Grand from November 5 to 9.
