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
…
