Sweet Charity Opens Tonight at the Hobby Center

Sweet Charity, starring Trading Spaces darling, Paige Davis, opens tonight and runs through July 8th at the Hobby Center.

Charity Hope Valentine is the eternal optimist. While working at the seedy Fandango ballroom, she is often taken advantage of and continually experiences bad relationships. Finally, she seems to have met a decent fellow in Oscar. Trying to hide her true profession, she lies to him and tells him that she works in a bank. Soon, Oscar asks Charity to marry him. After he discovers Charity's real profession, he backs out of the marriage. Nevertheless, Charity continues to remain hopeful that good things will happen in her life.

The three-time Tony Award nominated musical is directed by Scott Faris, and and choreographed by Wayne Cilento (Wicked, Aida) in the style of the legendary Bob Fosse. Houstonist is checking out the show tonight, so stop back by tomorrow for our review! Geez, the things we do for YOU!
