MULTIPLE TONY AWARD-WINNER

Sweeney Todd

Directed by Jen Wineman

A Bloody Great Musical

The brilliant tale of obsession and revenge, Sweeney Todd combines melodrama, murder - and “the worst pies in London” - with a sumptuous score by the incomparable Stephen Sondheim. Join the murderous barber and his culinary accomplice Mrs. Lovett for a spellbinding evening of comic turns and thrilling drama.

Age Recommendation

This production includes scenes of rape, murder, cannibalism and incest. But it’s also incredibly funny. We recommend this production for patrons ages 14 and older.

[A] “whopping grisly yarn … thumping good entertainment”

The New York Times

“Skillfully mixes savagery, tragedy and comedy to create a work of art that leaves one in awe”

The Guardian

“An audacious balance of acid-drenched comedy with subversive class warfare, gore and glowering drama puts Sweeney Todd in a league of its own”

The Hollywood Reporter
