HB APA's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" at Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts

The Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts presents its annual Musical Theatre department fundraiser and show: "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" in our APA Studio Theater. Arrive an hour before showtime for appetizers and a pre-show."The rare instance of a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheelers chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barber-ism and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th-century London seeking revenge. Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, SWEENEY TODD nevertheless has a great sense of fun: mixing intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor. Audiences find themselves laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next!"
