The 1966 musical (and 1969 movie) “Sweet Charity” gets a Latin makeover in the director Julio Agustin’s production at the New Haarlem Arts Theater, and it’s called for. The original could use some salsa. With its picaresque and coincidence-filled narrative; somewhat flighty title character (a lovelorn floozy, if not a prostitute, with a heart of gold); and principal setting (a dime-dance joint, already an anachronism in mid-’60s New York), the musical, originally staged by Bob Fosse, is itself a watered-down version of Fellini’s “Nights of Cabiria,” which actually did concern a prostitute and gritty issues like physical and emotional abuse and an existential take on religion. “Sweet Charity” was never one of Fosse’s more provocative shows, and Neil Simon’s quip-packed book seems sitcom-ready in retrospect.
