New York, 1967. Charity Hope Valentine is a dance hall hostess who "runs her a heart like a hotel". At the hopeless end of a long line of users and losers, she meets Oscar, a mild-mannered tax accountant, and Charity Hope Valentine once again puts her faith in love. Sweet Charity has been choreographed by the world-renowned Wayne McGregor, who reunites with Josie after collaborating on her debut film Mary Queen of Scots. Josie returns to the music of Cy Coleman who wrote the score for her Olivier Award-winning production of City of Angels. The book is by Neil Simon and lyrics by Dorothy Fields. Sweet Charity runs at the Donmar Warehouse from 6 April to 8 June 2019.
