We enjoyed watching Sweeney Todd this past weekend. Alana did a wonderful job as Mrs. Lovett. The entire crew did a great job with acting, sets, music, lighting, etc. Bravo to the Case Footlighters!

Below are some photos of the cast members:

Check out this article about the Case Footlighters’ production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Leave it to a bunch of engineering students to produce a complicated set including:

“barber’s chair, which will operate on pneumatic actuators in order to cause the victims to fall into Todd’s basement. When a customer reclines in the chair, his weight causes the back to collapse out of the chair causing the victim to tumble into the basement below. The barber’s chair resets and is ready in no time for the next victim.”

The show is opening on Halloween evening and Alana is playing the role of Mrs. Lovett which was made famous by Angela Lansbury in the 1979 Broadway production. Break a leg, Alana!

I’ll post some photos after the show.

It is not even fall yet and Lowe’s had Christmas trees!
