The rare instance of a musical thriller, SWEENEY TODD is a chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding tour-de-force that tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the judge who framed him and abused his young wife and stole his child. 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! Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, SWEENEY TODD nevertheless has a great sense of fun, mixing intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor: audiences find themselves laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next.
Winner of 10 Tonys and written by Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim, SWEENEY TODD is a masterpiece of American musical Theatre. Don't miss the show described as "extraordinary, fascinating" by The New York Times and "captivating and unforgettable" by Broadwaynews.com.
SWEENEY TODD is sponsored by the Richfield-Bloomington Credit Union.
