Sweeney Todd
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler
Directed by Chris Borer
Performance dates: April 1 - May 1, 2011
With the rare instance of
a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's chilling,
suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous "barber-ism"
and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled
barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against
the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife.
His thirst for blood soon
expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful
proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of
London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe! |
