Sweet rendition of Sweet Charity on stage at the D’Youville Kavinoky Theatre.

The musical Sweet Charity tells the story of Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess in New York City during the 1960s as she navigates a series of love affairs and bad dates while trying to find true love. The story is full of humor and heartbreak, despite her unfortunate experiences Charity remains optimistic and determined to find her happy ending.

Robyn Lee (Director) assembled a production team extraordinaire! Seventeen highly dedicated professionals and a amazingly talented energetic, enthusiastic cast of dancers, singers, and actors. All of the separate elements were brought together into one cohesive dynamite production. 

A few highlights:

Michael Deeb Weaver (choreographer) -The 60s saw a wide array of dance styles emerge, energetic individual dances to more complex choreographed numbers. The 60s saw a period of significant change in regard to choreography such as innovative and repetitive movements. Your choreography upbeat and energetic captured that era to a T.

Ann R. mo (Costume Designer) – Fabulous job. Ursula’s gown simply amazing

Joe Isgar (Musical Director) – Every musical director brings his own unique interpretation to the music. Your interpretation of the music along with the ensembles beautiful voices made for a delightful afternoon.

 THE CAST

Aimee Walker (Charity) was a joy to watch her smile was contagious. Her determination and confidence shown like a bright light around her. Her energy was felt throughout the Theatre.

Ben Michael Moran (Charles, Vittorio Vidal, Oscar Lindquist) Each of your characters were very distinct in vocal tone, and mannerisms. You did not portray a character you became the character thank you for your work

Stevie Kemp (Rosie/Ursula/and others) just thinking about your performance as Ursula puts a smile on my face a stella performance.

Davida Evette Tolbert (Daddy Burbeck/others) An electric performance!
