Join us for Throckmorton Youth Performers‘ Spring production, Sweet Charity! This hit show features some of the Bay Area’s most talented youth performers.

About Sweet Charity: Have you ever known a girl who wanted something so badly that she tried too hard to get it? Meet Charity Hope Valentine, the girl who wants to be loved so much that she has lost sight of who she is. Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances in the all too real world of Times Square. Sweet Charity is a bright and sophisticated show in every sense. Cy Coleman has captured the rhythms and sounds, and Dorothy Fields the vernacular and fun of New York. It’s a comedy in every sense of the word. Neil Simon has a particular talent for looking at the truly amusing side of life. Big musical numbers include: Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, Too Many Tomorrows, There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This, I’m a Brass Band and Baby, Dream Your Dream.
Book by Neil Simon; Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by Dorothy Fields; Based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano; Produced for the Broadway stage by: Fryer, Carr and Harris; Conceived, Staged and Choreographed by Bob Fosse
