Show Synopsis
“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd…” Considered legendary Stephen Sondheim’s greatest masterpiece, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a Tony-award winning psychological thriller set to a dark and intricate score. Sweeney Todd returns to 19th century London after he has been unjustly exiled. Todd is skilled with a razor and has a bloody thirst for vengeance. He sets up a barbershop above Mrs. Lovett’s failing pie business, and a recipe for disaster looms for London’s unsuspecting victims. Obsession, revenge, and deadly consequences come together as characters examine the line between good and evil.
