Sweet Charity really is an act of love. Legendary Italian film-maker Federico Fellini created the filmNights of Cabiria for his wife Giulietta Masina. The famous American choreographer Bob Fosse then turned it into a Broadway musical for his wife Gwen Verdon. Perhaps best known from the iconic 1966 film starring Shirley McLaine, Sweet Charity is a feel-good dance musical in the best sense. I love Jackie Clarke’s work and have been looking for something to showcase her talents for some time. The New Zealand Post Season of Sweet Charity is the perfect vehicle for her great voice, her playfulness, her mimicry, her extraordinary understanding of musical styles and her irrepressible energy. I’m also privileged to work with two of New Zealand’s finest and most committed artists, choreographer Shona McCullagh, and musical director/arranger (and composer in his own right), John Gibson.
