Sweeney Todd, December 12, 2008-January 12, 2009


Description:

The Demon Barber of Fleet Street thrilled packed houses in this gory, gustatory musical. It’s not about the meat pies; passion, vengeance, betrayal and lust are the real raw ingredients of Sondheim’s epic thriller. The grand sweep of unquenchable emotion and unthinkable, unstoppable action is joined with the most thrilling theatrical music of our time. Benjamin Barker, tonsorialist extraordinaire and serial singer, treats the audience to an unforgettable evening of razor sharp wit, cutting lyrics, musical genius and culinary madness — in short, a bloody good time!
