"SEE YOU AT THE THEATRE" ™
BROWARD STAGE DOOR THEATRE PRESENTS THE
DELIGHTFUL COMEDY “SWEET CHARITY”
Sweet Charity is a musical based on Fellini’s screenplay for “Nights of Cabiria.” In the musical the central character is a dancer-for-hire at a Times Square dance hall. The musical opened on Broadway in 1966, when it was nominated for nine Tony Awards. As the story goes, a young woman known as Charity Hope Valentine, is a taxi dancer at a dance hall called “The Fandango Ballroom in New York City. Inside, the dancers are dancing the latest craze. Taxi dancer Charity continues to have faith in the human race despite apparently endless disappointments at hand, and hopes that she will finally meet a nice young man to romance her away from her sleazy life. Maybe, just maybe, handsome Oscar will be the one to do it.
Charity Hope Valentine works alongside her two best friends, Nickie and Helene. They have no illusions that what they are doing is renting out their bodies to any man who will pay. Charity wants more than anything to be loved. As she wears her heart on her sleeve, she is vulnerable to sleazeballs who will take advantage of her trusting nature, and the desperation to be loved. Nickie and Helene know that Charity's stories about her love life, although having a base of reality, are highly exaggerated and fantasized versions of the truth. Such as, the story of her encounter with famed Italian movie star, Vittoro Vitale.
But after eight years in the business, Charity comes to the realization that she cannot meet decent men in her job, which she tries to change despite her lack of skills for "respectable" jobs. Her luck with men may change when she meets insurance actuary Oscar Lindquist, who mistakenly believes Charity is a respectable girl who works in a bank. Oscar falls for Charity, who in turn falls for the love directed at her.
The questions become whether Oscar's love will remain if/when he finds out the truth behind Charity, and if so whether they can overcome their fundamental differences. Tickets are on sale for $34 for performances, now on stage through December 11, 2016 at the theatre’s box office, located at 8036 W. Sample Road, Margate. Call 954-344-7765.
RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN’S BROADWAY MUSICAL
"CINDERELLA” LIVE ON STAGE AT BROWARD CENTER
The musical is based upon the fairytale Cinderella. The story concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered step-sisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a Princess and finds her Prince.
In the village square, a herald proclaims, ‘The Prince is Giving a Ball” to celebrate Prince Christopher’s 21st birthday.
The ladies of the kingdom are thrilled at the prospect of meeting him. Cinderella, whose beloved father has died, takes care of the home, her tempered and selfish stepmother and stepsisters. She does all the work, no matter how hard. All three order Cinderella to do everything.
Left alone, in her corner near the fire, she dreams of living an exotic life as a princess of anything other than a servant. Meanwhile, the King and Queen are getting ready for the big celebration. They hope that their son will find a suitable bride, but the Prince is very concerned about meeting all the eager women of the Kingdom. As Cinderella’s stepsisters get ready for the Ball, they are hopeful they will be the ones to catch the Prince’s eye.
As they finally leave, Cinderella imagines she has gone with them, when suddenly her fairy Godmother appears and transforms Cinderella into a beautifully gowned young lady, turning her little mouse friends and a pumpkin into a glittering carriage, with footmen, and she leaves for the Ball. The rest of the story is left to one’s imagination as she lives happily ever after.
