Red Mountain Brings Fleet Street To RMTC Cabaret With SWEENEY TODD 4/30-5/10

Savor the sweet taste of revenge as Red Mountain Theatre Company presents the Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece Sweeney Todd April 30-May 10, 2009, at the RMTC Cabaret Theatre (301 19th Street North).

Written by Stephen Sondheim and recently adapted for the screen by Tim Burton, Sweeney Todd tells the story of the devoted family man Benjamin Barker, transformed by grief and rage into the murderous Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sweeney and his enterprising accomplice Mrs. Lovett cook up a shocking plot to avenge the suffering inflicted on his family by the diabolical Judge Turpin.

*This "bloody good" show is intended for mature audiences.

Sweeney Todd stars Broadway veteran Abe Reybold as "Sweeney Todd" and Birmingham favorite Tam DeBolt as "Mrs. Lovett" and features a talented cast of local performers. Click here for the cast list: http://www.redmountaintheatre.org/0809-sweeney-todd.html
