Broadway in concert returns to Koerner Hall!

Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards (including Best Musical) for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed, and delighted audiences across the world.
An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up … and the carnage has only just begun!

RCM: Bang on a Can All‑Stars: Reich and Glass at 90
2027-01-29 20:00 - 22:30
The Bang on a Can All-Stars have collaborated and toured with fellow New Yorkers Philip Glass and Steve Reich for more than 30 years. This concert features Glassworks, exclusively arranged by Michael Riesman for Bang on a Can All-Stars, alongside Reich’s acclaimed rock-infused Electric Counterpoint, for electric guitar, in honor of these two outstanding composers during their milestone 90th birthday year.
In 1982 Philip Glass became the first composer since Aaron Copland to join the CBS Masterworks label. His first album for Masterworks, Glassworks, tripled all sales projections, and was lauded by audiences and critics alike. But Glass never performed the complete album live with his touring ensemble. Celebrating the legendary composer’s 90th Birthday year (2027), Bang on a Can All-Stars perform a brand-new arrangement of the iconic Philip Glass album in its entirety for the very first time.

Additional members include trombonist Vincent Chandler, trumpeter John Douglas, drummer Jeff Canaday, percussionist Mahindi Masai, guitarist Wayne Gerard, and vocalist Steffanie Christi’an.
“There’s a unique sound and feel to Detroit that permeates the music in a way that resonates all over the globe,” says Was. “There’s a rawness, a lack of pretension, and an unmistakable underlying groove that reflects the people and culture of the entire city.”
After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance featuring a local emerging artist in the Leslie & Anna Dan Galleria.
