SWEENEY TODD
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
book by Hugh Wheeler
directed by M. Susan Anthony
SEPT 30, OCT 1-2 AND 7-8

A musical thriller, this multiple award-winning masterpiece tells the story of an unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge on the unscrupulous judge who framed him, ravaged his wife, and stole his daughter.  His thirst for blood expands to include his unfortunate customers who find their final resting place in the savory meat pies of the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs.  At the play’s premiere in 1979, The New York Times opined, “There is more artistic energy, creativepersonality and plain excitement than in a dozen average musicals."

This production contains some graphic images.  Parental discretion advised for children under the age of 12.
