Blackfriars Theatre Opens 75th Season With SWEENEY TODD
Blackfriars Theatre will bring murder, meat pies, humor, and heartbreak with Steven Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, running Sept 6-22. Orignally opening on Broadway in 1979, Steven Sondheim's bloody masterpiece has solidified its place in the theatre canon as everyone's favorite murder musical. Sweeney Todd tells the story of a vengeful barber who teams up with the devilishly shrewd pie maker, Mrs. Lovett, after returning to London from an Australian prison colony. Will he finally reap vengeance on the corrupt judge who unjustly condemned him, or will the tortured ghosts of his past continue to haunt him? With a genius mix of sweeping operatic orchestrations and Sondheim's signature pithy lyrics, Sweeney Todd asks its audience to consider the price of vengeance while providing plenty of opportunities to laugh, cry, and delight in the horror of a cult classic.
