Determined to have his revenge on the lecherous judge who framed him, barber Sweeney Todd returns to London from exile. When he rents a room above Mrs. Lovett’s failing bakery, Todd’s thirst for blood inspires a new ingredient for her meat pies, and soon has the city lining up for a slice. With wickedly sharp lyrics, this tale of carnage is an enduring musical classic.
music & lyrics by Steven Sondheim | book by Hugh Wheeler
directed by Brynn Tyszka with assistance from Mandi Lynn Griffith
musical direction by Andy Pratt
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
“A thrilling tale of revenge, romance, murder, and meat pies." —Boston Now
“Sweeney Todd slashed its way onto Broadway in 1979, haunting audiences with its signature blend of horror, humor, and heart. The tale of a vengeful barber and his grisly alliance with pie-shop owner Mrs. Lovett immediately struck a chord, winning eight Tony Awards®, including Best Musical. Over the years, the show has been revived numerous times, each version revealing new depths and dimensions to this darkly delightful tale.” - BroadwayInbound.com
