“Beautifully sung, profoundly emotional, and strangely amusing. Sondheim’s masterpiece, restored to its rightful proportions, welcomes a long-awaited comeback to Broadway.” - The New York Times.
Observe the pleasantly deranged partnership among the vengeful Sweeney Todd and the animated shopkeeper Mrs. Lovett. Set in the depths of a ominous London, this theatrical thriller presents a amusing yet darkly Victorian story of family, homicide, class disparity, and dubious little pastry shops.

During a previous interview with principal performer Josh Groban, he recalls his journey playing the role of the title barber.
“… for me what intrigued me the most about Sweeney Todd was the oppositions: the beautiful score combined with the sinisterly humorous content, the gloomy storyline. There’s such a juxtaposition of elegance and grimness in the role, combined with many of the most remarkable songs and poetry ever written. It genuinely is nothing less than a masterpiece to perform, regardless of the type.”
Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is one of Broadway’s most remarkable accomplishments in the history of musicals, consistently acclaimed across its different incarnations by the Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award-giving bodies.
