Michael Cerveris, Manoel Felciano, Lauren Molina, Ben Magnuson, Donna Lynne Champlin, and other members of the cast of the current Broadway production of Sweeney Todd will headline Fleet Street on the Bowery, a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS at the Bowery Ballroom on Monday night, August 21 at 8pm.
The event will feature Cerveris and his band peforming songs from their albums Dog Eared and The Hinterlands EPs, both available on Low Heat Records. In addition, the Sweeney Todd cast and special guests Nellie McKay (star of the recently closed Broadway revival of The Threepenny Opera) and Duncan Sheik (composer of the Off-Broadway musical Spring Awakening) will perform a mixture of their own songs and covers.
Tickets for the concert are priced at $20 if purchased in advance, $25 at the door. The Bowery Ballroom is located at 217 East Houston Street, between Ludlow and Essex. For further information, visit www.boweryballroom.com.
