Description
A Sondheim show that we have been dying to do for years is finally making its way to Short North Stage! Sweeney Todd is a worldwide success since winning eight Tonys (including Best Musical) for its Broadway premiere and thrilling Broadway revival. Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s tasty, bloody, and thrilling theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
In this infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up… and the carnage has only just begun!
