SWEET CHARITY Runs 3/20-30 at Oakland University

Charity is a dancer at the seedy Fan-Dango Ballroom, but she remains an eternal optimist who loves too much. The musical follows her trials and tribulations as she repeatedly gives her heart, and her savings, to the wrong man. Musical highlights of the show include hits such as "Hey, Big Spender," "Rhythm of Life," and "If My Friends Could See Me Now."
