Cast members from the DCPA Theatre Company’s Sweeney Todd and the Grammy-nominated Denver band DeVotchKa offered a short preview by performing “A Little Priest” at the recent Colorado Business Committee for the Arts awards luncheon at the Seawell Ballroom.

That’s Linda Mugleston as Mrs. Lovett and Robert Petkoff as Sweeney Todd singing “A Little Priest” alongside conductor Erik Daniells and DeVotchKa members Jeanie Schroder, Shawn King and Tom Hagerman.

The band has put its lush, gypsy punk spin on the legendary Stephen Sondheim orchestration, and members will be performing in the pit at all performances.
