Broadway World Review:THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at The Pocket Community Theatre in Hot Springs
here are some musicals that completely consume me every time I see them, and Stephen Sondheim‘s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is at the very top of that list. No matter how many times I venture down Fleet Street, I find myself discovering something new, laughing at the wicked humor, and marveling at Sondheim’s brilliant score. So when The Pocket Community Theatre announced it was taking on this legendary musical, I knew I had to be there. Under the direction of James Kendall, with Emily Cooper as Music Director and choreography by Marta Eliza Miller and Stephanie Shaw, this thrilling production opens Friday, August 7, and runs through August 16. Once again, The Pocket proves it isn’t afraid to dream big, embracing one of Broadway’s most challenging and rewarding masterpieces with the confidence and talent that audiences have come to expect from this incredible theatre company.
