Description
Sponsored by Riverlea Theatre and Arts Centre Inc
A deliciously thrilling story of revenge and retribution, written by the titan of musical theatre: Stephen Sondheim!
Sweeney Todd has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony's, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world.
After 15 years in exile, Sweeney Todd, an unsettling man with a mysterious past, arrives in a dark and gritty London, hungry for vengeance against the judge who destroyed his life. Todd joins forces with Mrs Lovett, the unhinged proprietress of a failing pie shop, and together they develop a spinetingling plot to exact revenge.
"A staggering theater spectacle and more fun than a graveyard on the night of the annual skeleton's ball.... So joy to the world, dear children! Sweeney Todd is here to enrich your nightmares."
– New York Daily News of the original Broadway production
Come on a journey with the talented cast of Hamilton Musical Theatre into the dark and twisted minds of two of the most notoriously deranged villains of all time. Made famous by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter, in Tim Burton’s 2007 musical slasher film, that was based on this stage musical.
When the lights go down and the curtain goes up, you won’t dare look away.
Suitable for mature audiences (MA15+). Contains adult themes and violence.
