	Sweet Charity
		Suddenly, Charity’s dreams of starting a new life were within her grasp, to the dismay of her friends and coworkers at the Fandango Ballroom.
		Charity’s first meeting with Oscar in an elevator was entertainingly neurotic, but my favorite scene by far was one of the couple’s subsequent dates: a visit to the Rhythm of Life Hippie Church, which consisted of pot-smoking Christian hippies led by Cool Daddy (James Byas) and Cool Momma (Annie Florez).
		“Sweet Charity” was designed for mature audiences (or at least, people over the age of 16), which was easy to believe when the play involved drug use, sexual references, and frequent dance numbers involving scantily clad women.

		Fosse filmed Stone's ending in which Oscar returns to a distraught Charity in the park, falls into that lake, and has to be rescued by her.
		Part of the problem was that Sweet Charity was released shortly after audiences decided that they'd had quite enough of Big Movie Musicals, thank you.

	Theater News - Reviews: Sweet Charity -
		Low expectations were partly responsible for my enjoyment of the no longer New York-bound revisal of Sweet Charity that closed yesterday in Boston, but I suspect also that the show was much better when I saw it than when it began what was supposed to be its pre-Broadway tour in Minneapolis.
		Her characterization was notable for her employment of a sweet, feathery New York accent; this makes total sense for the part, and it happily conjured shades of Judy Holliday's indelible performance in the film version of Born Yesterday.
		Charity may be "old-fashioned" but, considering the lack of craft and talent evidenced in so many contemporary musicals, that's by no means a mark against it.

		"Sweet Charity" is set in the "hip" 60s, the times of "flower power" and bubble gum.
		Shirley MacLaine is wonderful as Charity, the "hooker with a heart of gold" who is determined to settle down with a good man and live a respectable life.
		Thrilled about the prospects of settling down, Charity rushes to the marriage license bureau, only to have her "fiance" get cold feet (after he learns of all the "other" men Charity has known).

	Talkin' Broadway Regional News & Reviews - "Sweet Charity" - 3/4/05
		As much as Sweet Charity is a song and dance fest, it’s essential that we care about Charity, give her empathy but not pity, and laugh at her but not too hard.
		Applegate’s Charity, though, and this is a key to the route this creative team took, is smarter, more self-sufficient and way less pathetic than either the Charity of Shirley MacLaine or the title character of Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria, on which she was based.
		This Sweet Charity is likely to be well received in New York and I’ll bet on it take the Tony for Best Revival of a musical, partially as a tribute to Cy Coleman.

	Elden Street Offers An Uneven 'Charity' (washingtonpost.com)
		When Charity finally meets a nice guy, a fella who thinks she's "sweet" and is unaware of her profession, she finally seems on track for a happy ending.
		The show's ambiance and plot lines, plus Charity's eager willingness to offer her body to a passing film star, make it seem that her true profession is much older than that of a dancer for hire.
		Still, he has given Charity a "hooker with a heart of gold" persona, and the old-fashioned code required a less-than-happy ending, which Simon provides, only to cheat again and tack on a hopeful coda.

		The Broadway revival of the 1966 Cy Coleman musical Sweet Charity starring television's Christina Applegate (Married… with Children) is not nearly as bad as the advance buzz had suggested, but there's no brass ring here either.
		The poignant tale begins with Charity being dumped, literally, in Central Park' ;s lake, by her boyfriend Charlie (Tyler Hanes), who steals her purse instead of proposing.
		Clinging to her belief that it was an accident and believing that he will call to explain, she returns to the dancehall, where her savvy colleagues attempt to set her straight.

	'Sweet Charity' -- Newsday.com
		"Sweet Charity," the cheesy on-again, off-again, on-again revision of what was once Bob Fosse's show, opened at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre last night, just under the wire for Tony Award eligibility in a slow season for musical revivals.
		What "Sweet Charity" has is a few dark and delightful songs by Coleman and Dorothy Fields, including "Big Spender" and "If They Could See Me Now." What it used to have was Fosse's irresistibly slinky yet sleazy, elegant yet cynical choreography.
		The new ending, with Charity discovering her own strength, is supposed to be upbeat.

		Plot Synopsis: Taxi dancer Charity continues to have Faith in the human race despite apparently endless disappointments at its hands, and Hope that she will finally meet the nice young man to romance her away from her sleazy life.
		Finally, one of the best reasons for buying the "Sweet Charity" DVD is that it contains the film's alternate ending which, as far as I'm concerned, is far superior to the one used in 1969.
		Sweet Charity is very, very Fellini-esque and rightfully so as it is based on Fellini's stellar film Nights of Cabiria.
