SWEENEY TODD at Academy of Alameda

An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett's luck sharply shifts when Todd's thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up... and the carnage has only just begun!

Part melodrama, part Grand Guignol blood-fest,this work also tells a very human tale of revenge and lust, of yearning and love.

Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world since it won "Best Musical" in its Broadway Premiere – A theatrically bold work full of soaring beauty, pitch-black comedy and stunning terror.

Content warning: Sweeney Todd is very much a "horror story" and contains scenes including death, murder, physical violence, blood, cannibalism, and sexual content. It may not be suitable for young children.
