Today we're flashing back to John Doyle's acclaimed revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, which opened on this day in 2005.

The production was a much-acclaimed smash at London's Watermill Theatre in the fall of 2004 and successfully transferred to the West End's Trafalgar Studios.

The scaled-down Sweeney famously featured the Demon Barber, his meat pie-baking accomplice Mrs. Lovett and other characters playing instruments. Doyle also directed the Broadway production starring Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone as the murderous barber and his pie-baking accomplice, Mrs. Lovett.
