SWEENEY TODD Comes to the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma in 2026
Performances will run July 28, 2026 - August 2, 2026.
SWEENEY TODD: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is coming to the Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma next year. Performances will run July 28, 2026 - August 2, 2026.
Welcome to Fleet Street, where the razors are sharp, and the pies are… questionable. Sweeney Todd slices through the competition as an 8-time Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon. With Stephen Sondheim’s deliciously devious score and Hugh Wheeler’s wicked wit, this gothic tale has thrilled audiences (and made them a bit nervous about barbers) since its Broadway debut. Sweeney Todd, the brooding barber with a bone to pick, returns to grimy 19th-century London in search of justice. But justice, it seems, is best served with a crust. Enter Mrs. Lovett, the entrepreneurial pie-maker whose business is going nowhere fast—until Todd’s special brand of “close shaves” gives her menu a sinister upgrade.
Dark, dazzling, and devilishly funny, Sweeney Todd is a musical where revenge is a dish best baked—and every haircut could be your last. Expect the spectacular when Canterbury Voices joins Lyric to bring this thrilling, dark musical to breathtaking life.
