Attend the dark, witty and Tony Award-winning tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London.
Join Off Square Theatre for a professional musical production of Stephen Sondheim’s 1979 masterpiece SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET.
In this infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which, he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up … and the carnage has only just begun!
Check out our tabs for dates of ASL interpretation, events, and more. For additional accommodation information and requests, email sadie@offsquare.org. This production is recommended for mature audiences.
