Sweet Charity: Difference between revisions

* [[Locked in a Room]]: Charity and Oscar meet in an elevator that gets stuck between floors.

* [[Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places]]: Charity's main problem.

* [[No Antagonist]]: Charity's kind of her own worst enemy...

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Daddy Brubeck, (Sammy Davis, Jr. in [[The Movie]]) who sings Rhythm of Life and is never heard from again, yet his song is one of the most famous in the show.

* [[Original Cast Precedent]]: Bob Fosse decided Gwen Verdon would wear a [[Little Black Dress]] for the whole show, just becuase he liked the way she looked in it. This dress has now become the standard Charity costume. She'll occasionally wear red for her scenes in the dance hall, but other than that, you'd be hard pressed to find a Charity who doesn't wear it for at least a few scenes.

* [[Pair the Spares]]: Doesn't actually happen, but Nicki lampshades it.

'''Nicki and Herman''' We would make a really lousy pair. }}

* [[The Pollyanna]]: Charity herself. She loses everything in one day when her husband leaves her, and yet skips off alone, saying 'There's always tomorrow.'

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: And thinks every guy is 'the one!'

* [[Title Drop]]: It's Oscar's nickname for Charity.

* [[Wacky Wayside Tribe]]: The Rhythm of Life Church. A jazz group that turned into a religion. Okay, sure.

* [[Wrong Guy First]]: Charity goes on a date with movie star Vittorio Vidal, and it's set up as if he is going to be the love interest of the musical. Sure, we've seen worse. But Charity winds up convincing Vittorio to go back to his girlfriend Ursula, and spends the night in a closet while Vittorio and Ursula make love. She leaves with nothing but his autograph and a hat and cane.
