EAST LANSING — NETworks Presentations launched the National Tour of the musical comedy hit, "Sweet Charity," starring film and television star Molly Ringwald and directed by Scott Faris and choreographed by Tony Award winner, Wayne Cilento. "Sweet Charity" is coming to East Lansing's Wharton Center Tuesday, April 24 through Sunday, April 29 as part of the MSU Federal Credit Union Broadway at Wharton Center Series.
Molly Ringwald's big screen success began with the romantic comedy, "Pretty In Pink." Other notable films include "The Breakfast Club," "Sixteen Candles," "The Pick-Up Artist" starring Robert Downey, Jr. and "Betsy's Wedding." A diverse talent, Ringwald turned her sights to television and received critical acclaim for her portrayal of real life AIDS victim Alison Gertz in "Something To Live For: The Alison Gertz Story." She has returned to the stage in recent years and was seen in "tick, tick boom," "Enchanted April" and received rave reviews as Sally Bowles in another Bob Fosse masterpiece, "Cabaret."
"Sweet Charity" received three Tony Award nominations – Best Musical Revival, Best Choreography and Best Actress.
With a book by Neil Simon based on an original screenplay by Federico Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Plaiano, the musical is a funny, poignant and tender look at the misadventures of Charity Hope Valentine, a dance hall hostess who always gives her heart and earnings to the wrong man.
Tickets to "Sweet Charity" can be obtained by calling Wharton Center Box Office by phone at 1-800-WHARTON or online at http://www.whartoncenter.com.
