Christina Applegate
Christina Applegate, of Married With Children Fame, has landed the lead in Sweet Charity, the role created by four-time Tony Award Winner Gwen Verdon. The revival will open on Broadway April 21, 2005. Barry and Fran Weissler will produce and Walter Bobbie will direct.

Weissler told Variety that the new productions will have a revised book by Neil Simon as well as a new song. He said about Christina, "I was looking for the right person. And I found her. Christina is the right age and temperament, and she is a well trained dancer. She was the best dancer of all the stars we saw. Marvelous."

Sweet Charity is a quirky, romantic, urban comedy about a dance hall hostess with a heart of gold.
