A romantic musical featuring well-known songs and big dance routines is coming to the Lancaster Grand.
Sweet Charity follows the romantic trials and tribulations of Charity Hope Valentine, “a girl who wanted to be loved.”
Charity is a partner-for-hire at a dance hall in New York City and although the job may be decidedly undesirable, her hopeful romanticism and unfailing optimism help her reach for a life beyond.
In the past, she’s been strung along and hung out to dry by a series of bad relationships and lousier men.
When she meets the shy and neurotic Oscar, seemingly from another world, will she finally find true love at last?
Ahead of the show, Vanessa Whittle, Andrew Thompson, Shannon Whittle and Mark Elliott from Lancaster Red Rose AODS popped into the Beyond Radio studio for a chat
