Shirley MacLaine gives one of her greatest performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon’s smash Broadway hit, inspired by Federico Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria. Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.
This special “Roadshow Version” of Sweet Charity includes an overture, intermission, and exit music.
