Little Theatre of Manchester (LTM) has announced the cast and creative team for its November production of Stephen Sondheim's dark musical masterpiece, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. One of the most acclaimed musicals of all time, the show will run weekends November 7-23 at the historic Cheney Hall in Manchester.
Attend the deliciously dark tale of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a heart-pounding musical thriller brimming with diabolical humor and razor-sharp wit. There once was a barber who had it all; a happy life, a beautiful wife – until it all ended in bitter strife. The barber Benjamin Barker loses it all in one savage act of treachery. Now known as Sweeney Todd, he's slicing his way through Victorian London in search of vengeance with his twisted baker-in-crime, Mrs. Lovett, by his side.
Based on a Victorian "penny dreadful" and a subsequent stage adaptation by Christopher Bond, the 1979 musical Sweeney Todd contains some of Stephen Sondheim's wittiest lyrics and gorgeous melodies including "Pretty Women," "A Little Priest," "The Worst Pies in London," and "Not While I'm Around."
