We’ve got something very special this Friday in the Side Door – St. Petersbug Opera is presenting a night Broadway songs by the principal singers in their upcoming production of Sweeney Todd. Tickets are available through SPO. Here’s an excerpt from the SPO’s newsletter about the show:
What’s your favorite Broadway song? We asked our principals from Sweeney Todd that question and got some interesting and fun answers. We just HAD to hear some of these selections, so we have put together a fun event for you to join us in celebrating the musical richness of Broadway.
Friday, September 28, we’ll be in the Side Door at the Palladium Theater at 8:00 p.m. The bar will be open (2 drinks included in your ticket price) and decadent desserts will be available to tempt you. At 8:15, 8:30 and 8:45, we will lead groups upstairs to the stage to get a sneak peak of the Sweeney Todd set, including the infamous barber chair. While we will demonstrate the chair, no patrons will be harmed in the course of this evening. Promise.
At 9:00 p.m., the principals of the Sweeney cast will start to sing and you will be back at your intimate table (seating for 2 or 8), ready to hear their selections. Remember Buffy Baggott’s touching rendition of “Send in the Clowns” from our production of A Little Night Music in 2010? She’ll be reprising that number.
There will be music from Into the Woods, Man of La Mancha, La Cage aux Folles, Jesus Christ Superstar, My Fair Lady, and more. Maestro Sforzini has been hinting that there will be surprises too.
