Charity begins on stage with the 1965 Broadway musical “Sweet Charity,” now delivered by Runaway Stage Productions of Sacramento. Its story, by Neil Simon, captures the two-sided life of Charity Hope Valentine (Amber Jean Moore), caught up in her shady life as a New York taxi dancer who longs for a husband—or at least a caring lover. A full orchestra delivers 14 original numbers, including two perennial favorites, with strong all-around performances.
