Quick Review
Have you ever known a girl who wanted
something so badly, that she tried too hard to get it? Meet Charity, the
girl who wants to be loved so much, that she has lost sight of who she
is. Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances
with the `animal magnetism` hero, the `ultra-chic continental` hero, and
the `impossible-to believe-but-he`s-better than nothing` type hero. Her
world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass
through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept
across any stage. From her cynical, hard-core trio of girlfriends at the
dance hall, to the phony evangelist, the Coney Island `fun people`, the
Central Park `strollers` and the YMHA `self-improvers`, every character
is interesting. This is a bright and sophisticated show in every sense.
Cy Coleman has captured the rhythms and sounds, and Dorothy Fields the
vernacular and fun of New York. It`s a comedy in every sense of the
word. Neil Simon has a particular talent for looking at the truly
amusing side of life. It`s a dancing show too, with great opportunity
for use of dramatic movement. Wonderful musical numbers include Big
Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now, Too Many Tomorrows, There`s
Gotta Be Something Better Than This, I`m a Brass Band and Baby, Dream
Your Dream.
