The historic original 1966 Broadway premiere of Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields, and Neil Simon’s 'Sweet Charity' exploded onto the stage of the Palace Theatre, running for an astonishing 608 performances and capturing the Tony Award for Best Choreography. The brilliant musical comedy follows Charity Hope Valentine, an eccentric, overly optimistic taxi dancer who encounters a frantic series of romantic mix-ups and deceptions while searching for authentic love in Manhattan. Directed and choreographed with definitive physical wit by Bob Fosse, the premiere famously starred Gwen Verdon.
