PRESENTS

SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler

“Revenge is a dish best served… in a meat pie.”

Prepare for a dark journey through the sinister streets of Victorian London with Sweeney Todd. Follow the vengeful barber as he seeks justice, aided by the cunning Mrs. Lovett and her rather… unique meat-pie business. Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece weaves a twisted tale of love, revenge, and morality, brought to life by hauntingly beautiful music. Equal parts chilling and captivating, Sweeney Todd will leave you spellbound—and maybe a bit wary of your next shave…

Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI)
