I have an audition for a local theater production of Sweet Charity on Tuesday, but I really don't know much about the show. Can anyone tell me a little bit about the plot and character personalities (or point me in the direction of some good links)?

Thanks so much!

Charity is supposed to be a dance hall girl (probably a hooker) who is around 40ish and has been treated dreadfully by the men in her life.

She is very optimistic especially when a fetching man saves her from her latest suicide drowning attempt...........towards the end of the show he too leaves her and she is rather pathetic begging him not to leave her...........

The show ends with a balloon caption (much used in this dreadful show)stating: ...AND SHE LIVED HOPEFULLY EVER AFTER.

You can likely find a more detailed synopsis by GOOGLING the words SWEET CHARITY.
