"The Demon Barber of Fleet Street."

October 7- November 13 Book by: Hugh Wheeler Music and Lyrics by: Stephen Sondheim Directed by: John Massey
Eric J. Hindley as Beadle Bamford
Sweeney Todd is not your ordinary musical, it is musical theatre at its greatest: a powerful tale of vengeance, madness and murder. It is a chilling and suspenseful story set to powerful music and lyrics. Sweeney Todd is out of jail after being falsely accused of a crime. He seeks revenge against the lecherous Judge who convicted him and coveted his wife. In an enterprising scheme he joins forces with Mrs. Lovett, peddler of “the worst meat pies in London,” to plot his revenge and save his daughter from a similar fate as his wife’s. “Investing an old folktale with both brilliant comedy and moral depth, Sondheim and Wheeler have created a genuine folk-opera.” said theatre critic Clive Barnes.
