Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler
“Revenge is a dish best served… in a meat pie.”
Prepare for a dark journey through the sinister streets of Victorian London with Sweeney Todd. Follow the vengeful barber as he seeks justice, aided by the cunning Mrs. Lovett and her rather… unique meat-pie business. Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece weaves a twisted tale of love, revenge, and morality, brought to life by hauntingly beautiful music. Equal parts chilling and captivating, Sweeney Todd will leave you spellbound—and maybe a bit wary of your next shave…

BAD MOON RISING, THE TRIBUTE TO CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL!
2025-10-22 19:30 - 21:30 | FL
Bad Moon Rising, a Classic Tributes Live band, invites you to take a trip down the Mississippi Delta as they pay tribute to one of the greatest rock bands North America has ever produced—Creedence Clearwater Revival. CCR was an American roots rock band whose sound blended southern, country, and blues rock. This unique mix, along with the distinctive vocals, wailing guitar, and songwriting style of John Fogerty, gave birth to what became known as swamp rock, with CCR as its pioneers.
During a prolific four-year period between 1969 and 1971, CCR released fourteen consecutive top 10 singles and five consecutive top 10 albums, including two that reached number one. Bad Moon Rising will take you on a journey through the band’s headlining performance at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, their rise to fame, and their eventual acrimonious disbandment in 1972.
Join us as we travel with the band up around the bend, run through the jungle, and venture into the bayou—heading home to Green River. Let’s look out the backdoor, down on the corner, and watch the rain fall. Hey, tonight we’ll all be the fortunate ones, and proud as Mary!
Here’s what past guests have to say:
“The music was spot on! The group Bad Moon Rising: A Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival did an outstanding job recreating some of the original band’s greatest hits, delivering rich vocals and smooth instrumental renditions. It was a great show—I thoroughly enjoyed it!” – Angela K.
“They were awesome and punctual, which I really appreciated. This was my second time seeing them at the Athens, and both times they did not disappoint!” – Robert G.
“My rating is a 10! This was my first time attending, and I had a great time. I definitely plan to come back next year.” – Samantha V.
