What did our critic think of SWEENET TODD at Derby Dinner Playhouse? Depending on who you ask about the late Stephen Sondheim’s body of work, I’d venture that most would say his masterpiece is the melodramatic revenge quasi-gothic horror opera Sweeney Todd.

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, formerly known as Benjamin Barker, who returns to nineteenth century London, seeking revenge against the judge who framed him many years ago. Renaming himself Sweeney Todd, the now-mad man vows revenge against all who wronged him, applying his razor to unlucky customers and shuttling the bodies down to Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop to supply the pies with cheap, fresh meat. Though many unfortunate souls fall to his blade, Todd will not find satisfaction until he slits the judge’s throat and obtains his final revenge.

Landon and Barkdoll’s powerful performances as Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd drive the action forward and catch the audience up in the action and emotion of the story. The skillful vocals and heartfelt performances of the cast at Open Stage make this production of Sweeney Todd one you won’t want to miss.

What did our critic think of Moonbox Productions' SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at Arrow Street Arts?

Of the many things I could compliment about TUTS’ production of Sweeney Todd (the songs, the costumes, the lighting) perhaps the most important is that it’s authentic. This is as close to the original Angela Lansbury/Len Cariou (later played by George Hearn) production as we can reasonably hope.
