This powerful and humorous play examines our existence in attack and defence as one man’s life begins to unravel against a backdrop of displacement, love and loss. It’s not whether we win or lose, but how we play the game. Two players, one goal. Life’s a pitch…

The oceans are rising, things keep getting worse but the people in charge seem to be getting in the way instead of solving anything. Frankly, we are sick of it. We’ve crunched the numbers, we’ve written the beats & we’ve made the placards. Now we’ve got the answer. To it all, actually: to life, to saving the planet, and to living in peace. (And it’s not 42.) All we need to do now is convince the “grown ups” to trust us. With bangin’ tunes, good vibes & our own political party, we’re ready. Are you gonna join us?!
Expect buzzing energy, live music, and real talk with a sprinkling of anti-establishment, pro-environment anarchy.
Liverpool Theatre School is set to put on a spectacular performance of Sweet Charity at The Epstein Theatre, which will see final year musical theatre students entertain the audience with showstoppers such as ‘Big Spender’, ‘Rhythm of Life’ and ‘If My Friends Could See Me Now’.
The classic musical comedy, with a score by Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields, tells the story of hopeless romantic, Charity Hope Valentine, a New York taxi dancer who embarks on a series of disastrous relationships during her quest to find love.
Speaking on the show, Maxine Ellis, Principal at Liverpool Theatre School, said: “Sweet Charity is an iconic musical theatre production, which even though its Broadway premiere took place in 1966, is still very much relevant today. It’s a story about heartbreak, optimism and resilience, with a sprinkling of glitz and glamour.
“The musical comedy is both hugely entertaining to watch and challenging to perform, so it calls for real talent and skill from our final year students who have all been working incredibly hard to make sure they do the show justice at the wonderful Epstein Theatre. It really is a fabulous show and I would urge any fans of musical theatre to join us for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.”
