The Lyric

Big dance numbers. Big laughs. Big heart. Iconic Songs. A leading lady with endless spirit and optimism even when things don’t go her way.

You know the music, even if you don’t recognize the title:

🎶 Big Spender
🎶 If My Friends Could See Me Now
🎶 Rich Man’s Frug

…and more

With a tuneful, groovy, mid-1960’s score, Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in New York City.

Conceived by Bob Fosse, with a book by comedy legend Neil Simon, music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields, Sweet Charity promises to leave you with a song in your heart, a smile on your face, and a bit of Charity’s irrepressible optimism as you face the world.

February 27, 28, March 1, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 at The Lyric in downtown Casper.

🎟 Tickets available at OperaWyoming.wellattended.com or in person at Elevé Dance Boutique at the Atrium Plaza on 2nd street in downtown Casper.

Opera Wyoming is supported in part by a generous grant from the Wyoming Arts Council
