ABOUT THE PLAY “Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd…” a chilling, suspenseful,
heart-pounding masterpiece that tells the infamous tale of the unjustly
exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against
the lecherous judge who framed him and tore his family apart. His thirst
for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the
resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of
London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe!
ROLES Roles are available for teens and young adults from 7th grade –
college. It is possible that ensemble members who cannot perform on Fridays
and Saturdays due to religious observance may be able to perform on Sundays
only. To view character descriptions of Sweeney Todd, go to this
