Christina Applegate, best-known for playing the bimbette daughter on TV's "Married ... With Children," is starring in a revival of "Sweet Charity," opening April 21 on Broadway after an extended tryout tour.

Applegate is talking about Charity Hope Valentine, the goodhearted taxi dancer at the center of the Cy Coleman/Dorothy Fields/Neil Simon musical. It's not an easy role for a neophyte theater performer. Charity is a killer part, one that has to carry the whole show. No Charity, no musical.

In the past, "Sweet Charity" has attracted an impressive parade of women in the title role, starting in 1966 with the legendary Gwen Verdon, directed by the equally legendary choreographer Bob Fosse. Juliet Prowse was Charity in London. Shirley MacLaine starred in the 1969 film version. And dancer-choreographers Debbie Allen and then Ann Reinking were in the 20th-anniversary Broadway revival in 1986.
