TNP Performance Guide: Sweeney Todd

Page 1


Welcome to SEASON 72

As the curtain rises on our 2025–2026 season, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for a remarkable year of growth, celebration, and reconnection.

Last season marked our return to our newly renovated home on 5th Avenue South—and what a homecoming it was. From several sold-out productions to an explosion in class enrollment and education offerings, our theatre was once again filled with laughter, learning, and the unmistakable energy of a community coming together. More than just a physical transformation, our space became a launching pad for new ideas, renewed relationships, and a reimagined future.

Through powerful partnerships with hospitals, schools, law enforcement, and local organizations, we expanded our reach beyond the stage—bringing the healing and connective power of theatre to places where it’s needed most.

At The Naples Players, every seat, every story, and every applause is part of something bigger—a shared commitment to building community through exceptional access to the power of theatre. Welcome to Season 72!

OUR MISSION

At The Naples Players, we build community through exceptional access to the power of theatre.

OUR VISION

We envision TNP as a cultural hub that leads a shift in the national perception of how theatres can impact their communities.

Visualizing OUR IMPACT

During our 70th season in 2023-2024, we relocated our entire operation off-site to complete the $22 million renovation project that you’re sitting in now. It would have been easier to close our doors for a season, but the shift into offsite locations helped broaden our reach and expand our offerings to an even wider audience within our community.

SPOTLIGHT ON BRAXTON CABRERA

Curtains Up, Confidence Built: The Lasting Lessons of Theater

At just 16, Braxton Cabrera already understands the transformative power of theatre. A rising high school junior who has grown up on the stages at The Naples Players (TNP), Braxton is currently part of the ensemble in Sweeney Todd. But for him, the magic of TNP extends far beyond the footlights.

Braxton’s journey with TNP began at age 11 with The Sound of Music. “I had never done anything like it,” he recalls. “I was terrified—but I got in.” That first production, The Sound of Music, was a pivotal moment. Cast as Kurt Von Trapp in TNP’s education program program, Braxton stepped onto the stage for the very first time and immediately found himself immersed in a welcoming and inspiring community. “I thought I did horribly,” he admits, “but I got the role and met people I looked up to.” Surrounded by experienced performers and sup-

ported by a nurturing environment, he quickly realized how much there was to learn—and how much he loved learning it. That early encouragement, especially from mentors like Jessica Walck and Bret Poulter, helped him find his place on stage and gave him the confidence to keep going. That one show ignited a passion that would lead to standout roles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Fantasticks, Young Frankenstein and most recently Hadestown: Teen Edition. With each production, Braxton grew as a performer—and as a person.

TNP became a second home. Long hours of rehearsal taught him discipline and time management. Directors like Dawn Lebrecht Fornara and Charlie Fornara helped him understand the value of control and honesty in his performances. “They taught me how to find the truth in a character,” Braxton explains. “It’s not

about overacting—it’s about making sure the audience feels the story.”

That mindset has carried into other areas of his life. Braxton now applies what he’s learned at TNP to his academics, Model UN, and speech and debate.

“Listening, focusing, putting in 100%—those lessons came from theater and they will carry me far beyond the stage.”

When asked what advice he’d give younger students thinking about joining TNP, Braxton doesn’t hesitate: “Get in class now.” He believes strongly in the value of building skills early—skills that not only prepare students for future productions, but for life beyond the stage.

“The training you get here— dance, acting, voice—it’s what takes you to the next level. Those skills are what will get you anywhere.”

For young people looking to build confidence, connection, and discipline, Braxton’s story is a powerful reminder: theatre isn’t just about performing. It’s about becoming.

SWEENEY TODD & The Destructive Power OF REVENGE

Revenge is a driving force in many literary and theatrical works. In Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd , it defines the story. Todd, a barber who seeks vengeance on the corrupt Judge Turpin, explores the destructive consequences of obsession, the morality of revenge, and the cyclical nature of violence. Dark and tragic, the musical offers a profound commentary on the human desire for retribution and the consequences that ensue.

At the heart of the story, Sweeney Todd, formerly known as Benjamin Barker, returns to London following unjust imprisonment by Judge Turpin. Turpin’s corrupt actions— exiling Barker in order to pursue his wife— sets the stage for Todd’s transformation into a man consumed by vengeance, so fixated on getting justice that he loses his own humanity. His initial goals are to kill Turpin and avenge the destruction of his family. But as his obsession grows, his violence extends far beyond his original target, and his need for revenge becomes all-consuming.

Todd’s descent into madness is aided by his partnership with Mrs. Lovett, who encourages his bloodlust and sees a chance for personal gain. When Todd’s first attempt at revenge fails, his anger expands to believe that all of humanity deserves punishment. His decision to kill customers, who are then turned into meat pies by Mrs. Lovett, shows us how vengeance can spiral into something far more monstrous than initially intended. Instead of seeking justice, Todd becomes

obsessed with destruction, which inevitably corrodes his morality and sense of purpose.

Such lust for revenge becomes a selfperpetuating cycle. The climax of the play clearly shows us the futility of revenge. Yes, Todd succeeds in killing Turpin, but in doing so, he loses everything—his wife, his daughter, and even his own life. The tragic resolution underscores the play’s ultimate message: revenge leads to further suffering and loss, not redemption and closure.

The musical also challenges our perception of justice versus vengeance. Yes, Todd’s desire for revenge is understandable, but his actions raise moral questions about the ethics of retribution. Does Turpin deserve to die? Perhaps. But surely that fails to justify the countless other murders Todd commits in his pursuit of vengeance? The narrative suggests that revenge, no matter how justified it may seem, often results in unintended, disastrous consequences.

Sondheim’s masterpiece remains a compelling exploration of the dark side of human nature, demonstrating that the pursuit of revenge has the power to transform even a righteous victim into a villain.

SWEENEY TODD

A MASTERWORK OF MUSICAL THEATRE

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler, premiered on Broadway at the Uris Theatre (now the Gershwin Theatre) on March 1, 1979. Directed by the legendary Harold Prince, the production married Sondheim’s emotionally complex score with a grand, gritty theatrical vision that challenged and reshaped the boundaries of the American musical.

Prince emphasized the broader socioeconomic themes embedded in the tale—framing it not just as a personal story of revenge, but as a powerful critique of class disparity and industrial exploitation in Victorian London. In his hands, the show became a scathing commentary on how society chews up the vulnerable, while Sondheim’s music added psychological intensity, using dissonance, contrapuntal harmonies, and lyric motifs to build character and tension.

The original cast featured Len Cariou in the title role and Angela Lansbury as the delightfully macabre Mrs. Lovett—two powerhouse performances that defined the roles for generations to follow. The production’s monumental set, designed by Eugene Lee, included a revolving stage and towering iron structures that visually echoed the dehumanizing machinery of the Industrial Revolution. The visual aesthetic and production scale were groundbreaking for a musical at the time and underscored the opera-like ambition of the piece.

In addition to the notable revivals below, Sweeney Todd was also been adapted into a successful 2007 film directed by Tim Burton, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. The film introduced the musical to an even broader audience, reinforcing its place in pop culture.

West End – The first London production starred Denis Quilley and Sheila Hancock and opened at the Drury Lane Theatre.

Broadway Revival – Directed by Susan H. Schulman, this version starred Bob Gunton and Beth Fowler, with a more intimate and chamber-like production.

John Doyle Revival – This minimalist, highly stylized Broadway revival featured actors playing their own instruments, creating a claustrophobic and psychological experience. It starred Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone, winning critical acclaim and multiple Tony Awards.

2012 London Production (Off-Broadway Transfer) – A highly praised production starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton that emphasized the horror of the story.
