About the Show

Stephen Sondheim's dark musical about a murderous barber.

After being wrongfully banished from London, barber Sweeney Todd seeks retribution against the corrupt judge that sent him away, leading to a murderous spree. Aided by Mrs. Lovett - the baker next door - the two whip up an unappetizing scheme as they terrorize the city.

"Sweeney Todd" features some of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs, including “The Worst Pies in London,” “A Little Priest,” and “Johanna”.

This production is recommended for teens & adults.
