Inspired by Federico Fellini's Nights of Cabiria, Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate 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, humor, and heartbreak of Life in the Big City for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist. We proudly license the original 1966 Broadway version of Sweet Charity. Musical numbers include: “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” “I’m a Brass Band” and “Baby, Dream Your Dream.”

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes with one brief intermission 

The goal of the Rockaway Theatre Company is to provide low cost, high-quality theatrical productions for the public and a chance to experience live theater for many people who would otherwise not have this opportunity. We take pride in our performers and theatre-makers who reflect the beautiful diversity of the City in which we live, and encourage them to showcase their talents within our walls. We welcome and encourage diversity in all areas of theater, making the RTC an artistic home and haven of so many, onstage, backstage and in our audience.
