Sweet Charity is once again a smash hit on the London stage. The show was the work of an all-Jewish writing team, including one of Broadway’s greatest-ever lyric writers … “He was absolutely dazzled by Dorothy’s talent,” remembers Coleman’s widow Shelby, who was in London recently for the opening night of Sweet Charity. “He loved her songs. He couldn’t really believe he was meeting her at that party, he was so excited. He walked up to her and asked if she’d like to write a song with him. He said he didn’t know where he found the chutzpah.” … Sweet Charity started life as the Fellini film, The Nights of Cabiria. The musical theatre director, Bob Fosse, thought the film would make a good show and enlisted Neil Simon who, with Cy Coleman, had worked on Little Me. Simon turned the heroine from a prostitute called Cabiria into a dance-hall hostess called Charity. But Charity still had Cabiria’s romantic heart. “You run your heart like a hotel,” says one of her fellow hostesses. “You’ve got guys checking in and out all the time.” See the full article from “Jewish Chronicle”
