| I saw an excellent shortened version at the Yale Cabaret in 1989 or so. The conceit was that Oscar, squaresville as he is in the original, wasn’t on to the fact that Sweet Charity and her chums were drag queens. Charity had to confess to being a man. It must’ve been seriously shortened, but the stakes were very high, and it worked. Charity was diminutive and oh-so-sweet (believably), and Malcolm Gets was thrilling in the Helen Gallagher role. (Chita played it in the movie). |
