In this classic Victorian melodrama, Benjamin Barker returns to Fleet Street in search of his wife and daughter, having been exiled to Australia under false charges by the Great Judge Turpin. Resuming his profession as a Barber, Barker recreates himself as Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He is aided in his bloody activities by Mrs. Lovett who runs an ailing Pie Shop. Sweeney Todd is a tale of passion, revenge and gore told through Stephen Sondheim’s fabulous music.
this amateur production is presented by arrangement with josef weinberger ltd. on behalf of music theatre international of new york
