Throwing Out My CDs by Ben Rimalower: EVITA

Woof. This week is the biggest decluttering task I've attempted yet-throwing out my Evita CDs. I got 99 problems and Evita CDs are all of them.

Palm Beach Dramaworks to Stage SWEENEY TODD This Summer

Audiences will be in for a bloody good time this summer, when Palm Beach Dramaworks presents Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

SWEENEY TODD Opens 7/14 at Palm Beach Dramaworks

There's a new tonsorial parlor setting up shop at Palm Beach Dramaworks this summer, and the proprietor possesses skills that can best be described as cutthroat. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the brilliant Tony Award-winning musical thriller by Stephen Sondheim (music and lyrics) and Hugh Wheeler (book), opens at the Don & Ann Brown Theatre on July 14, following a specially priced preview on July 13. This deliciously macabre and witty tale of a throat-slitting barber and his enterprising accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, who grinds his victims into meat pies, runs through August 6. Clive Cholerton directs and Emmanuel Schvartzman, making his PBD debut, is the musical director.
