Sweet Charity

Sweet Charity, based on Federico Fellini's screenplay for Nights of Cabiria, is a 1966 musical show directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse. It was made into a film in 1969. The musical show was revived in 2005.

Revival in 2005

A revival of the show starring Christina Applegate as Charity opened on Broadway on May 4, 2005, after a troubled three-city preview tour. Applegate broke her foot in Chicago, the second stop on the tour, and was replaced by her understudy, Charlotte d'Amboise. Then, after the final leg of the tour in Boston, the producers announced the production would not be continuing to the Great White Way, citing lack of interest. However, two days later, the Broadway engagement was re-born after Applegate convinced the producers to continue. A week into previews, Applegate rejoined the cast. The new production also stars a second-billed Denis O'Hare as Oscar, and Ernie Sabella as Herman.
