Review – Sweet Charity
✭✭✭✩✩ Enjoyably ambitious
Consistent entertainment and a high level of skill mark out Allegro’s production of Sweet Charity at the Church Hill all this week, despite the occasional mis-step.
Sweet Charity begins in Morningside
Bob Fosse’s 1966 Broadway hit Sweet Charity, which follows the misadventures of a gullible New York dance hall hostess, arrives at the Church Hill Theatre this week thanks to local amateur company Allegro.
Review – Copacabana
★★★☆☆ Passionate:
The music and the passion are right in place in Allegro’s bright production of Copacabana at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday. But while the fashion is frothy – and the dresses are, on occasion, “cut down to there” – it doesn’t go as far in that direction as it might.
