Sweet with Harlequin, Sweeney Todd, and more

Formed originally as the Sweetshop, British glam rock band Sweet paired bubblegum melodies with hard rock guitars to achieve 1970s chart success with hits like Blockbuster, Ballroom Blitz, and Fox on the Run. After lineup changes and a 1982 breakup, various incarnations later reunited and toured.

Canadian rock band Harlequin signed with Epic Records in 1980, releasing hits like Superstitious Feeling and Innocence that remain staples on classic rock radio. Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the group has headlined stadiums internationally.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a dark musical thriller by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler, premiered on Broadway in 1979. Known for its operatic score and intricate themes, popular songs include "Epiphany" and "Pretty Women." It earned eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and an Olivier Award, celebrated for its enduring theatricality and blend of horror and humor.

Nick Gilder, Vancouver-born rock artist, rose to fame with Sweeney Todd before going solo. He's best known for the platinum hit "Hot Child in the City" and his '70s rock style.
