Special Student Discount Tickets for Summerfest's Almost Heaven

Summerfest Cabaret Theatre announces Almost Heaven, a musical tribute to the beloved singer/songwriter John Denver, April 19 through May 8. Almost Heaven pays homage to both the life and music of Denver, featuring well-known songs like �Rocky Mountain High,� �Take Me Home, Country Roads� and Sunshine On My Shoulders.� Almost Heaven is not just a performance of Denver�s greatest hits - it is a collection of memories and stories from a life that celebrated the beauty of the world around us.

John Moore of the Denver Post writes that Almost Heaven is �an elegant musical eulogy� in which �Denver's songs are beautifully reinvented� and composed in a �gorgeous arrangement � that [make] eagles soar and horses run.� Performed by a talented ensemble, including Broadway star Jim Newman and Summerfest favorites Kristi Tingle Higginbotham, Tam Debolt, Lani Meek, Jonathan Shade and Mike Stephens, Almost Heaven is a program you do not want to miss!

Almost Heaven begins April 19 and continues through May 8, with show times Tuesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m. Summerfest�s Cabaret Theatre is located in downtown Birmingham, on 19th Street, between 3rd and 4th Avenue North. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling (205) 324-2424. Special Student Discount tickets are $20 (with a student I.D.)
