BWW Review: SWEENEY TODD Makes the Cut at Academy Playhouse
by Kristen Morale - October 16, 2015
With score and lyrics by the [in]famous Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, Director Peter Earle brings Sweeney Todd to the town of Orleans, enshrouding the Academy Playhouse's intimate black-box theater in darkness as black as the hearts of many of the characters that make this show of such a menacing nature. Continuing in the tradition of producing quality theater for forty years and following a successful summer season, Earle's creative vision brings yet another production to unforgettable heights, proving to both loyal theater-goers and those who happened to be on Cape for the holiday weekend that the Academy does not play around when it comes to extracting the absolute rawness of a show and putting in on stage in a way that keep audiences coming back for more.
