Forest Collective: Sweet Charity
18 June @ 7:30 pm - 28 June @ 10:30 pm AEST

Celebrating 60 years, this production of Sweet Charity follows the New York City adventures of the ever-endearing Charity Hope Valentine… but not quite how you remember it.
Forest Collective is delighted to be teaming up with Heirlume Productions to present the iconic Fosse musical Sweet Charity.
In a world suspended between the Lavender Scare and the Stonewall Riots, Heirlume’s Sweet Charity reimagines this classic through a new lens; infusing its beloved characters and legendary score (Big Spender, The Rhythm of Life, If My Friends Could See Me Now … the list goes on!) with a queer love story and a tale of self-acceptance.
