SWEENEY TODD
April 8 - May 1, 2011
Book by Hugh Wheeler Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond Sweeney Todd is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). Directed by Tony Rust This musical thriller about "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" won 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, following its 1979 Broadway premiere. The infamous character Sweeney Todd first appeared on the streets in London in a lurid 1847 "penny dreadful" serial story. In Sondheim's version, Todd is an unjustly exiled barber who returns to London to seek revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood quickly expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the locals lining up in droves to taste her mysterious meat pies. Though macabre, the musical nevertheless has a wonderful dark sense of humor, mixing intense drama with a slightly twisted view of the world. |
