Sweeney Todd
by Austin Theatre Project
Aug. 11 - Aug. 27 (2016)
Steven Sondheim's dark musical about the murderous barber. Joe Penrod and Cathie Sheridan are featured. Jeff Hinkle directs.
Sweeney Todd is an infamous tale set in 19th century London, and centers around its title character, an unjustly exiled barber who is seeking vengeance against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. 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 the integration of an ingredient into her meat pies that has the people of London lining up, and the carnage has only just begun!
Sweeney Todd opens November 4.
Auditions open August 11. Closing date not announced as of August 10.
