Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
October 25 @ 7:00 pm - November 23 @ 10:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, repeating indefinitely
The show features a stellar cast and concept, marking the end of the 2024 theatrical
season at the venue. The production will run from Oct 25 through Nov 23, with 18
performances. The director and theater behind the sold-out run of Little Shop of Horrors
in 2023 are bringing this rendition of Sweeney Todd to life. The story follows Sweeney
Todd, who returns to Victorian London after 15 years in forced-exile, seeking to reclaim
his life and plainly seek revenge. With the help of his steel razors and his brilliant
partner, Mrs. Lovett, a pie-shop owner, Sweeney embarks on a quest for vengeance,
proving that revenge is best served piping hot. This rendition of the Sondheim classic
promises to be unforgettable. Director John Kish expressed his excitement about this
ambitious production, citing inspiration from “white goths” and “futuristic apocalypse.”
The central design theme revolves around fabric and linen, symbolizing the
concealment of decay, the preservation of life, and the stains of history being held within
the stitches. Kish aims to present a unique version of this well-known musical, utilizing
fabric as a medium to ignite a fresh take on the production.
