A brief synopsis Set in 1960s' New York, Sweet Charity is the poignant and funny story of Charity Hope Valentine who, despite her dead end job as a dance club hostess in the sleazy Fandango Night Club, is an incurable optimist. Her adventures and misadventures bring tears and laughter as we follow her quest for true love and a better life.   For this much loved show, the large cast and band will be performing such wonderful Cy Coleman musical numbers as If My Friends Could See Me Now, The Rhythm of Life, I love to Cry at Weddings and the showstopper Hey Big Spender.
