Celebrating 60 years, this production of Sweet Charity follows the New York City adventures of the ever-endearing Charity Hope Valentine… but not quite how you remember it.

In a world suspended between the Lavender Scare and the Stonewall Riots, Heirlume’s Sweet Charity reimagines this classic through a new lens; infusing its beloved characters and legendary score (‘Big Spender’, ‘The Rhythm of Life’, ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’ … the list goes on!) with a queer love story and a tale of self-acceptance.
