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.
