Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is arguably a masterpiece of American Musical Theatre. It's haunting, thrilling, and heartbreaking when it's done right. But in order to do it right you need to understand and be able to convey this complex story and characters as well as sing some quite difficult music. Unfortunately, the current gender bent production from Reboot Theatre Company chose to forsake that story for comedy and sight gags leaving a confused, under baked, sloppy mess.

Robin Alice, a duo comprised of Kelley Jakle and Jeff 'Horti' Hortillosa, has unveiled 'Greed,' a new single from their forthcoming debut EP Here and There, out June 14th. 'Greed,' which follows singles 'Late Bloomer' and 'Wanna Be,' is a timely track inspired by, as much art is of late, the 2016 election. “Horti penned a great deal of this one,' the band toldAmerican Standard Time, which premiered the song. 'It was written largely during the 2016 elections when it became apparent that the country is suffering from a great cognitive divide. But, through the disagreement, Horti was very disturbed by the fact that personal self-interest often wins over altruism, and that corporate interests dictate our daily actions beyond politics. In so few words, it's a song reflecting upon disdain for unchecked capitalism, and the sadness at the lack of fiscal equality and lack of social safety nets.”
