About this Event
Main House - Tickets: £43 - £10.50
WHAT IS A DEMENTIA FRIENDLY PERFORMANCE?
This performance is carefully tailored for people with dementia and their families or carers so that everyone can enjoy this musical comedy in an environment that is comfortable and supportive.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THIS PERFORMANCE IS DEMENTIA FRIENDLY:
• The volume of music will be reduced when dialogue is taking place.
• Changing seats during the performance is fine and so is leaving the performance and re-entering.
• This is not a schools performance, so the audience will be quieter.
• There will be additional signage with pictures in the foyers.
• There will be a quiet room, before after and during the show.
• There will be more staff on hand to support.
• A very relaxed attitude to moving around the theatre and making noise.
SWEET CHARITY
Unlucky in both love and life, Charity Hope Valentine is a kind young woman who earns her keep dancing in the seedier bars of New York City. After being unceremoniously dumped by her latest sketchy boyfriend, Charity is determined to change her life for the better. But is a chance encounter with a shy young man in a broken-down lift the kick-start her love life needs? And how will she realise her dreams of happiness and success in a selfish, cynical world?
Sweet Charity is the ultra-stylish Broadway classic which became an Oscar-nominated film starring Shirley MacLaine. This electrifying musical comedy features stunning set-piece choreography and hits like Hey Big Spender, The Rhythm of Life and If My Friends Could See Me Now.
Feel the spirit of the Swinging Sixties in the Big Apple revitalised in this bold new production directed by Bill Buckhurst (Sweeney Todd in the West End and Off-Broadway).
Based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano
Produced for the Broadway stage by: Fryer, Carr and Harris.
Conceived, Staged and Choreographed by Bob Fosse
