About the Show

Disappointing

See it if you love the score with 12 actors, & love Sutton Foster in a show performed on a small stage with no scenery & a few props at Bwy prices.

Don't see it if you have fond memories of another production or movie of Sweet Charity.

Great acting, Great singing, Slow, Disappointing

See it if you want to see Sutton be absolutly charming, and lovable as Charity. However, felt a little like a thrown together staged reading version.

Don't see it if are expecting Fosse's choreo. Disappointing new choreography. Darker ending than most versions. Small cast that doubles a lot. Felt long.

Clever, Entertaining, Great acting, Great singing, Great staging

See it if Sutton Foster and Shuler Hensley lead this revival. Great songs, clever, intimate staging.

Don't see it if you loathe musicals and can't enjoy "Hey Big Spender."

Foster's great singing, Foster's great acting, Foster's great dancing, Dated show, Dreadful sightlines

See it if you love triple-threat Foster; she lights up the stage. Music is strong, but book dated. All-female band. Strong cast, but Oscar disappoints

Don't see it if you want Fosse's choreography. Or to be able to see action. Some songs are extraneous. Many jokes fall flat. But the joy of seeing SF! Read more

Entertaining, Great acting

See it if Agree with comments below. Sutton Foster is great in the role.

Don't see it if if you are familiar with Fosse's original choreography you might be disappointed. Some directing/design issues.... (and THAT wig!)

Great acting, Great singing, Hilarious, Relevant, Entertaining

See it if you want to see Sutton Foster lead a spectacular company. She's fantastic, as is the rest of the cast (particularly Joel Perez).

Don't see it if you aren't a fan of SWEET CHARITY. The show honestly doesn't make a ton of sense. Read more
