Sexy, sassy media call for "Sweet Charity", Arts Centre Melbourne, Wednesday 25 February 2015.


Wednesday, February 25, 2015

One of the most unusual, sexy, and sassy media calls I’ve yet attended.

This morning, Wednesday, February 25, 2015, I attended the media call for the show “Sweet Charity”.

What was unusual about this particular media call was that, it was held outdoors, on the forecourt of the Melbourne’s Arts Centre complex. Fortunately for all media attending – and especially for the 8 very attractive, and scantily clad performers, Verity Hunt-Ballard, Debora Krizak, Kate Cole, Rowena Vilar, Francesa O’Donnell, Annie Aitkin, Lyndon Watts, and Samantha Leigh Dodemaide – the weather was mild and kind.

With a book by Neil Simon, music by Cy Coleman, direction by Dean Bryant, choreography by Andrew Hallsworth, and starring Mary Poppins’s Verity Hunt-Ballard, this triple Helpmann Award-winning production of “Sweet Charity” tells the tale of ever-optimistic, big-dreaming, Charity, who works at the Fandango Ballroom where she dances with men to pay her rent.

During the media call, the 8 performers sang, and gyrated through 3 performances of the rousing, “Hey Big Spender” - certainly one of the best-known of all musical performance numbers.

“Sweet Charity” runs from 25 February 2015 at the Arts Centre Melbourne.

While I took several hundred images during the media call, I’ve included 35 of the best shots I took.

Until next time …
