'Sweet Charity'
![Since first produced more than 40 years ago, "Sweet Charity" has undergone an unfortunate metamorphosis from the sweetly sentimental to the downright treacly. Granted, Cy Coleman's music and Dorothy Fields' lyrics combine in some memorable standards ("If They Could See Me Now," "Big Spender") and certainly one can imagine the sheer excitement generated when Bob Fosse's original Tony-winning choreography was first performed. But Neil Simon's book, although recently tweaked for the 2005 Broadway revival, has sprouted mold atop the syrup.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-07/41073722-17151309.jpg "Since first produced more than 40 years ago, "Sweet Charity\" has undergone an unfortunate metamorphosis from the sweetly sentimental to the downright treacly.

'I Love My Wife' at Brentwood Theatre
![If Masters and Johnson had been a musical writing team instead of sex researchers regularly appearing on TV talk shows, they might very well have come up with something similar to "I Love My Wife." The 1977 musical, about two guys from Trenton, N.J., who want to spice up their marital beds by swapping partners for a night, tries to push the erotic envelope -- but not so much that it will offend the Mike Douglas-Merv Griffin set.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-12/43745277-08092016.jpg "If Masters and Johnson had been a musical writing team instead of sex researchers regularly appearing on TV talk shows, they might very well have come up with something similar to "I Love My Wife.\" The 1977 musical, about two guys from Trenton, N.J., who want to spice up their marital beds by swapping partners for a night, tries to push the erotic envelope -- but not so much that it will offend the Mike Douglas-Merv Griffin set.")
