An infamous tale, Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to nineteenth century London, seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who destroyed his family’s life. 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 their diabolical plan for revenge. If you are looking for a haunting Halloween event, this musical is sure to satisfy.

Runs Wednesday through Sunday, times vary. Recommended for ages 13+.
