NEW YORK Mar 29, 2005 — It's back and so is its star, Christina Applegate. The problem-plagued revival of "Sweet Charity," which last week canceled its Broadway engagement after Applegate broke her foot and the show received tepid out-of-town reviews, will open May 4 in New York, two weeks later than originally planned, producer Barry Weissler said Tuesday.
"Christina came to me and made the most deeply felt emotional plea," Weissler said in a telephone interview. "She has given up all her movies for the year, plus her home and husband are on the West Coast. This is what she has wanted since she was a little girl and I just couldn't take it away from her."
Weissler said he has received assurances from Applegate's doctors that she will be able to perform in the musical, which is a dance-heavy show.
