Sweet Charity Opens Thursday
VALDOSTA -- Lose yourself on the streets of New York in the bet365亚洲官网
Theatre and Dance Area’s presentation of musical “Sweet Charity,”
which opens Thursday, Nov. 11, and runs through Wednesday, Nov. 17,
in Sawyer Theatre -- located on the first floor of the Fine Arts
建筑.
The musical, written by witty playwright Neil Simon, is set in the
1960s as the central character -- Charity Hope Valentine -- an
optimistic dance club hostess makes her way through the ups and
downs of love and life in a fast-paced, no-nonsense city. 导演
Eric Nielsen said that despite a series of unfortunate events,
Valentine's unwavering optimism is "a lesson for all as we face
difficult times."
"It is difficult to believe that it was 1988 when Dr. Randy Wheeler
and I first presented ‘Sweet Charity’ in Sawyer Theatre. 在22日
years, the musical continues to be a great learning experience for
both the cast and the artistic/technical staff," Nielsen wrote in
his director's notes. "Going down memory lane with a few of us who
dealt with the ‘60s and then providing the cast with dance genres
that were once used in school proms and clubs was an enlightening,
and as I bite my lip, historical experience. 这 new generation of
performers worked diligently to incorporate some of the original
ideas of the show and present it with a fresher approach for our
audiences."
The toe-tapping music numbers include “Big Spender,” “If My 朋友
Could See Me Now,” and “There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than
这.” Bob Fosse choreographed the 1966 debut performance on
Broadway; and his signature, Tony Award winning moves take the
stage during this high-energy hit.
