Pictures have been released offering a first look at rehearsals of Sweet Charity, starring Arthur Darvill and Anne-Marie Duff.

The show, directed by Josie Rourke, opens at the Donmar Warehouse on 17 April, with previews from 6 April.

Duff plays Charity Hope Valentine in the piece, opposite Darvill as Oscar Lindquist.

Wayne McGregor choreographs the hit 1966 musical which is Cy Coleman, Neil Simon and Dorothy Field's piece based on the black-and-white Fellini film Nights of Cabiria. It tells of the romantic ups and downs of the titular dancer-for-hire, and features classic numbers such as "Big Spender", "If My Friends Could See Me Now", "Rhythm of Life" and "I'm a Brass Band".

The rest of the cast includes Lizzy Connolly, Lauren Drew, Jo Eaton-Kent, Will Haswell, Charlotte Jaconelli, Stephen Kennedy, Debbie Kurup, Martin Marquez, Ryan Reid, Amy Ellen Richardson, Danielle Steers and Shaq Taylor.
