I LOVED IT. Christina Applegate was amazing, way better than I ever expected. I thought the show was really funny, especially the closet scene! Christina's voice got soooooo much better. Her dancing and acting are great too. When she sang " If My Friends Could See Me Now" I was so impressed! Her singing and dnacing were great in that song. My favorite part of the show was when she was dancing in front of the lights, in that song.
About Denis O'Hare, he was extremely funny too! The elevator scene made me laugh so hard, I couldn't stop.
Janine Lamanna and Kyra Da Costa wre awsome in their song too.
In the "Club Pompeii" scene the dancing was a little odd, but still great.
LOVED THE SHOW!!!!!
Yet another positive review!
So glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for posting your review. It's good to hear from more and more audiences members who enjoy the show and Applegate's performance.
Lijay will be along shortly to thank you as well...
Yes, Thank you!
Another person who saw the joy, entertainment, and heart in this production.

I'm happy to learn that you thought it was "amazing".
Who found the show amazing? Me? No, I merely enjoyed the show and what it had to offer.
What I find "amazing" is that more and more people are coming around and posting their love for the show. Considering what happens to them when they post their affection for the show on these boards, it is amazing.
^ I agree.
Now I consider the Coleman score to be AMAZING, timeless, and one of Broadway's best in history.

Oh I'm glad you loved it! I just got tickets to go see it. I must see Christina's performance!! I only hear the greatest things about her.
Coleman's score for this show is wonderful. I could listen to ANY version of his Big Spender and If my Friends could see me now...
JustMe2 and Ljay, you guys have found another fan in me! I absolutely loved Sweet Charity when I saw it in July, so much so that I am going back again in October, even though it is so hard for me because of where I'm at in college. Christina Applegate...perfection! Just thought I should inform you of another SC lover.
thanks for the post checkyourpersonality!
It wonderful to read these reviews; I hope they keep coming!
Another Charity fan over here... saw it in August, had the time of my life, seeing it again in November and cannot wait. It is great to read these reviews. With all the negativity surrounding Christina and this production I'm always happy when I read that yet another person had a great time.

I saw it during the Boston tryout run in March (with Charlotte - who is an amazing dancer) and I really enjoyed it. I still stand behind my positive review!
Glad to hear more people are enjoying this show. I certainly thought it was fun.
Saw it in May. A wonderful evening at the theatre!

I saw the show at the first try-out stop in Minneapolis - that's where I'm from. I thought the show was really weak at the time and it's not hard to impress me!!!! I am moving to New York in October, I'll have to catch the production as I know it has changed A LOT!!! I hope my second impression is better than the first - I really like Christina Applegate!! GO BROADWAY!!
Yahoo a good review! I love this show, the music and the cast. Great show, thats for the post.
Haha, lamentingenvelope, I have to admit that my avatar makes me really happy too!!
Did you all see Christina on A&E's Breakfast with the Arts on Sunday, Sept. 11? She was soo adorable - they asked a lot of interesting questions that haven't been overdone pertaining to her thoughts/role/feelings towards Sweet Charity.
damn it, no I did not!! Did she talk about working with Cy Coleman?
No worries! Check it out here...
