Book by Neil Simon

Based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Plaiano

Produced for the Broadway Stage by Fryer, Carr and Harris

Conceived, Staged and Choreographed by Bob Fosse

Director/choreographer Kim Reynolds
Music director David Willis
Orchestra leader Matt Pearson

Meet Charity Hope Valentine, the girl who wants to be loved so much that she has lost sight of who she is. Her world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept across any stage. From her cynical, hard-core girlfriends at the dance hall, to the phoney evangelist "Daddy", the Coney Island "fun people" and the Central Park "strollers" every character is interesting. Wonderful musical numbers include Big Spender, If My Friends Could See Me Now and Rhythm of Life.

Performances were at 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 to 31 July 2010. There were also matinee performances at 2pm on Sunday 18 and 25 July.
