THE STORY OF SWEENEY TODD, THE MUSICAL



When Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd opened on Broadway in 1979, it became
an instant hit and later walked away with that year's Tony award—Broadway's
highest honor.



The play joyfully tells the shocking story of Benjamin Barker, aka, Sweeney
Todd, the vengeful English barber and his accommodating landlady. The
brilliant musical play follows Sweeney as he plots his revenge against Judge
Turpin, who sent him to prison on false charges—an act which causes the
destruction of Sweeney's family. As Sweeney's revenge plot accidentally
broadens to include other citizens of the corrupt society of Victorian
London, his landlady, Mrs. Lovett, finds a way to cover up the barber's
crimes as well as her own by making delicious meat pies of the barber’s
victims! Through this darkly comic story, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler
explore the passion for and consequences of revenge.



Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd….
The last weekend in October… Halloween!
