Sweeney Todd
book by Hugh Wheeler; music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
October 24-November 3, 2019
Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Todd's thirst for blood inspires a "new" ingredient in Mrs. Lovett's meat pies that have the people of London lining up...and the carnage begins! This dark and witty tale has garnered eight Tony Awards including one for Best Musical.
